It all depends on how much damage is found when the repair work starts. the date is only a guess. Call the body shop and go their and complain. the more you push them the faster you get your car back.

Stuff happens. Unless you see your vehicle sitting on the lot, with nothing happening to it, I don't see that you have a valid complaint.

Pretty much just the way it is. Unfortunately insurance reps do not see all the damage. When the body shopman starts to repair the vehicle, most of the time they find more damage. Its only one more week, hang in there.

3 weeks should be more than enough time for that kind of damage. I'd complain to your insurance rep and get them to press the body shop. They might pay for a rental till the car is done.

I have vibration coming from under the passenger side tire.?

Well insuance companies can be a**holes and liars! Doing frame work takes a lot of patiece and time because you have to take the motor and transmision out take most of the body off and interior out and then heat the frame to mealting point then staighten it! after that put the parts back on and paint it! Its especally harder if it has a sub-frame!
