I'd be very hesitant of paying anything until repairs. That's how a real shop operates.provide the service then get paid.

Agreed, I hate to say it, but the shit is already on the stick on this deal, underestimated damage/payment, owner having to source parts on his own, disrespectful treatment of the customers property, and the hand already out looking for money and nothing even attempted, it doesn't look like it's going to end well...

I spent quite a few years working in the collision/bodyshop industry, seen this too many times with customers/shop owners, you'll know when you have the right shop, because you won't be here voicing your concerns/frustration...get out while you can

I would give them 1/4 of the money at first to start the repairs.

Dude, get your car out of there. Let it sit in your own garage while you find a trustworthy shop!

I know but it's too late; I already gave them some of the money from Hagerty, because Hagerty told me it would be a good idea to do so. I just never know what to do in any situations.  Up, down, left, right,  I don't know lol...

Next time pay by credit card, easier to get your money back.
