🚨 Progressive said this truck could be repaired for **$5,783.86.**

🚨 An independent appraisal process determined it actually required **$21,366.15.**

👇

Same truck.

Same accident.

Same claim.

Same insurance company.

📈 Difference: **$15,582.29**

🤯 Let that sink in for a moment.

The vehicle owner disagreed with Progressive's estimate and invoked the Appraisal Clause contained in Progressive's own policy.

Not a lawsuit.

Not a court case.

A dispute resolution process written into the insurance policy itself.

The result?

✅ Progressive's appraiser reviewed the claim.

✅ The vehicle owner's appraiser reviewed the claim.

✅ An independent umpire reviewed the claim.

🔥 **ALL THREE AGREED.**

💰 Progressive's Final Estimate: **$5,783.86**

💰 Final Appraisal Award: **$21,366.15**

🎨 Progressive's estimate included approximately **$733** in paint materials.

🎨 The final appraisal award included approximately **$2,349** in paint materials.

📄 The documents attached are the actual estimate and the actual appraisal award. Certain information has been redacted for privacy.

**We didn't create these numbers. The appraisal process did.**

📢 You have the right to choose your repair facility.

If this vehicle had remained in the insurance-controlled repair process, repairs would have proceeded based on the **$5,783.86 estimate.**

⚙️ This is the difference between repairing a vehicle to an insurance company's budget and repairing it to manufacturer requirements.

⚙️ **Manufacturer Standards. Not Insurance Standards.**

❓ One question:

If your vehicle manufacturer required **$21,366.15** worth of repairs, but your insurance estimate only allowed **$5,783.86**, which number would you trust?

🚨 **INSURANCE INDUSTRY EXPOSED?** 🚨

The **Oklahoma Attorney General** just called out what many of us in the collision repair industry — and vehicle owners — have been saying for YEARS…

👉 **An “illicit scheme.”**

Let that sink in.

This isn’t coming from a body shop.
This isn’t coming from a frustrated customer.
This is coming from a **STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.**

🎥 Watch this video and decide for yourself.

What we’re seeing every day:
❌ Delays in repairs
❌ Pressure to cut corners
❌ Steering customers away from qualified shops
❌ Undermining safe, proper OEM repairs

This isn’t just about cars —
⚠️ This is about **consumer safety** and **your rights**.

If you’ve ever felt like the system was working against you… you’re not crazy.
