$7742.53

Ok here goes my rant. I took it into Roger Auto Body in Plymouth this morning to get my insurance companies choosen repair shop. The insurance adjusters were their but my car was estimated by and employee of Rogers. After having him look over the car he comes back and says good news we didn't total your cars (I kinda wanted it to be as I have it for sale and this is an easy way to get rid of the car). I am looking over the estimate which shows used hood and it doesn't sit easy with me, but the kicker is he has down the wrong color paint. The paint he had selected was a sandstone grey which is a two stage paint and mine is a pearl white which is a three stage paint. This is where it gets a little fishy he brings the quote back and said, "The 3rd stage only added about 80 dollars to your estimate" For me that doesn't seem right. Wouldn't there be more hours in painting and more cost in paint for the 3rd stage?

Comparing the 2 quotes I got the first one totals my car and the second one doesn't.

Quote 1:
$7742.53 and 97 hours of labor

Quote 2:
$4,941.34 and 76 hours of labor

I have not yet talked to my insuance claim adjuster, however I am thinking about getting a third quote. Opinions and thoughts please.
