In some states it is illegal to record a conversation without the other person's knowledge. regardless, may not be admissible in court anyway.

Get money for diminished value...
Their ins co agreed to pay me diminished value, they want to wait till car is finished before negotiating the amount, went back again yesterday, pics below...
New cars are like legos. They kind of fit together only one way. If the body man has even half a brain, you'll be fine. Not to mention, they are putting a quarter all the way back on the car. Unless its welded out of alignment, the whole right rear of the car will be new.
I doubt you'll be able to see the repair when you get it back. Had they beat the quarter out and try to mud it straight, then i'd be worried for you.

It apears the frame was not damaged as suggested , and all damage was superficial .

Negative. That is a misconception a lot of ppl have. Its illegal to record another persons conversation with another person but YOU can record ANY conversation u have with anyone and so can the person ur talking with.
Wiretap laws apply too every state the same way.

Yea street lawyer that is absolutely correct when ur recording SOMEONE else's conversation NOT ur own conversation. So ur 100% wrong. Feel stupid now? I do this for a living. Do u?
I always find it amusing when ppl try to quote statutes but forget to leave out the part that actually matters! lol
So u can take ur MISINFORMATION iceburg and sink with it!
What Federal Law Says:
According to the Wiretap Act of 1968 (18 U.S.C. § 2511.), it’s illegal to secretly record any oral, telephonic, or electronic communication that is reasonably expected to be private. So, for example, recording a conversation with somebody in a bedroom, with the door shut, on private property, without them knowing is technically a federal crime in the loosest sense.
There are, however, a few exceptions to this law that create some sizable loopholes. The biggest being the “one-party consent” rule that says u can record people secretly if at least one person in the conversation consents to the recording, or if the person recording is authorized by law to do it (like police with a warrant). If we go back to our bedroom recording, that means you could record your conversation as long as one person—you—consents to it. Sneaky, eh? But here’s the catch: you have to actually be a part of that conversation. If you were simply recording two other people talking while standing nearby and not saying a word, you then have no consent from any of the parties, and thus it would be illegal.

For reference my wifes 2015 Mini Cooper S had 18K damages and we got $3800 in diminished value.
It doesn't look like any structural damage and the car is new so they should be able to match the paint. Put the diminished value check towards a Procharger.
Also we hired our own licensed appraiser / diminished value guy. Paid just under $200 but with State Farms original offer of $300 we were glad we had backup when we went to battle with them.
lol fair enough..... and to be honest with ya I thought the same way u did and swore I was right lol
