Just got the finished estimate for the Monte. $2421 in repair costs (this is prior to my $500 deductible). I just have to wait for them to give me the green light to bring it in (they are estimating 5 days to repair).

Finally, some good news! The body shop I'm going to has been backed up, but I called them today and they said they are looking at being able to take it in Monday morning. But, since I could not get it to them until after work, they are fine with dropping off Saturday.
Also, I was talking with a guy yesterday (my former neighbor, big car guy, very OCD about his cars and he works for a body shop, something I forgot about when this mess happened). When I told him where my Monte is going to, he said I have nothing to worry about, I'm in great hands with that shop.

Well, the Monte Carlo was almost done today, but did not pass my inspection.
- OEM replacement headlight has a thick bead of sealant in the bottom
- fender to hood alignment does not match at the top
- the original headlight and fender have a noticeable gap
- a trim piece has the wrong plastic rivet pieces
The shop made notes and said they will go over it and fix these items. Plus side, the paint match looks great. A little more time needs spent.
