Detail shop wrecked my STR............

Talked to my insurance company tonight. They are treating it as a theft and are making arrangements to have my car fixed immediately. And thank god for good insurance companies. While i have had numerous vehicles in the past, this is really the first time i have had to deal with a loss like this. And progressive has been unbelievable. It is in their hands and my insurance will not be affected by this. However the depreciated value will not be recoverable. I just want my car back the way it was.
And motormouth, ill have a pic for you later............. HA HA HA HA

Jason,
I highly recommend that you pursue a diminished value claim against the insurance company of the detail shop. Call the Auto Appraisal Group in Charlottesville, Virginia to get detailed information that will cover every step you need to take in order to pursue this. I selected them to perform my appraisal for my pursuit of a diminished value claim against Geico, the insurance company of the driver who hit me back in August. They have been wonderful to work with and my decision to involve them in my claim has already proved to me that I will receive the maximum amount for my diminished value claim whether I wind up settling out-of-court or deciding to proceed with taking Geico to court if they will not meet all of my terms....
You can reach the Auto Appraisal Group at (800) 848-2886. Explain your situation and they will put you in touch with one of their local agents in your area. Don't leave this compensation on the table - you deserve every dollar of it and it is your absolute right to claim it and be compensated for your loss....

Good luck in getting her fixed. Also, like other's have said, pursue the additional damages and diminished value with the shop owner. I know it sucks....

One more word (actually quite a few) on getting a professional appraisal.
Years ago when my wife and I married, we had different insurance companys..hers...Mercury, mine...State Farm. I went with hers since the combined was much less money.
Some cellar dwelling actuary pegged my car (86 Olds 442) at $1000. No freakin way...I got it professionally appraised at $8600. Then Mercury wanted their people to do it. They came in at $10900 and that's what was on the policy. The premiun was (IIRC) was only about $100 more a year.
A professional appraisal can be well worth it when it's necessary.

update: heres the list so far:
windshield, front bumper section, panel underneath, fog light, headlight, hood, left front wheel, tire, bracketing for front bumper section, possible other headlight due to cracked mount, driver control arm is cracked.
Right now its 7500.00
Insurance company is going to go after the shop owner and suspect, and also the body shop is suggesting the diminished value clause due to the rarity of the car. They explained it to me today and i didn't even mention it.
