accident estimate

[josh Wyte]

Before you get yourself all worked up into a snit and
post to the list, maybe you ought to go back and
re-read my email carefully.

Does it anywhere say that the body shops are ripping
people off?  Do I allude to that?  Is it somehow
insinuated?

NO!  All I said was that the actual costs of repair
goes up once the body shop has a chance to disassemble
the car and really see what the damage is.
