My wife rear ended our Element on the Tuesday prior to Labor day, and we just got it back 2 weeks ago. They had it 28 WORKING DAYS. I WORK for the dealership that did the repairs. The damage was appx $4500, not like it was massive, just the core support area/hood, and a bunch of unpainted plastic bumper parts. The initial estimate was 8-9 working days. You need to chill. The body shop is the last place you want them to hurry, because a crappy repair now most likely won't be noticed until a couple years later when the paint falls off. Relax dude, there are lots of weekends.

yea but i was really looking foward to being able to drive my car, i havent had my own permanent mode of transportation since march....plus all my CD's are in the car and my 8443 that i just put in. If i knew they were taking the car to the body shop that soon i would have taken it out.

no, we were both braking, so the rearend of his car went up in the air, and front end of mine went down, my hood was bent at a 90 degree angle, the ammount of damage totaled 2600.xx before the windsheild...the core support, radiator, headlights, upper/lower grille, A/C condenser and front bumper had to be replaced. And the crack was a result of the accident, but it was so small you honestly couldnt see it. It wouldnt have bothered me at all to have it there.
