My issue is the first body shop (which i took a referral from my insurance agent) did not knock it out of the park. Lots of little things that I am far from happy with. After about 4-5 issues with this shop, I told my agent, I have to go else where. I cannot keep doing this. The car is in the hands of a different shop that I have a better warm and fuzzy will impress me with their finished product.

From the pics it looks like your windshield was cracked too at the bottom left?? I hope you get her fixed back up properly. I too have had trouble with crappy body shops recently. They seem to be terrible down here in GA. Had to bring mine back a few times also for stuff not up to par.

Very sorry to hear about the incident...
I too have usaa insurance and they always pay for new parts, so be aware of the shop using old parts.
Also, I would express concern to the repair shop that the paint matches perfectly. Red is a hard color to match, so don't accept the car if it is not fixed to your liking. Let them know in advance that the paint matching is a concern.
I had to take my SS back to a usaa recommended shop (Gerber Collision - Never again) 3 times before it was finished to my standards...usaa does include a lifetime warranty on the repairs, which is very comforting to know.
Good luck and stay calm

At least your ok. People just don't pay attention to anything anymore. It's a shame. I don't know of anyone who gets into a car and reverses without looking. That sounds like something that happens on a sitcom. But this isn't funny.
