Q: How long do I have wait for a car repair to be fixed , based off a insurance claim? It's been 10 months
My car was stolen, recovered and I am still waiting for my car to be repair. Theft was in Sept 2022, car was sent to auto repair shop in 11/2022, they didn't know the car was on the lot until 03/2023, still waiting for my car and it is 06/2023 and I have still been paying car notes and car insurance.
A:
This question can only be answered based upon reading whatever contract you have with the auto repair shop.
In most situations, if the auto repair shop isn’t fixing your car quickly enough for you, you should pick up the car and take it to a different auto repair shop.
But, if I were you, I’d talk to the mechanic at the shop first to determine why it is taking so long. That information would seem to me to be important to making a decision as to what your best course of action is under the circumstances.
