I’ve not a problem with the cars with AmFam but in every car claim I’ve always dealt with our insurance guys office staff directly for all of it. Guessing that’s making the difference.
Or a body shop that does all the fighting for you. Am Fam loves to cut my labor time and use aftermarket parts, etc

That could be the case. Also I’ve always taken it to whatever body shop they recommend which has been Gerber every time so they probably have some deal with Gerber. the last time my wife was rear ended they fixed some of the car with used and aftermarket parts but it was mid pandemic and parts were back ordered for months and it’s just a dead nuts base model 2013 Traverse with 0 options so no fucks given.

Pretty sure I mentioned in this thread or another similar thread. Buddy of mine had the same exact issue but I think his was wind damage.
State Farm denied him but others on his block got new roofs. He battled them for 1-1.5yrs and the contractor he was using really did most of the leg work.
He just got a new roof 2 months ago. He gave the contractor dude a $250 gift card to take his Wife out to dinner. He asked the contractor dude, why did you go above and beyond for me knowing your not getting any additional money for the time spent over the last year. He said he hates State Farm because they do that often and when they deny someone he goes all out to try and get them approved lol.

$800 that’s bull shit I had to fight with All State for over 2 years to finally get my roof I think they got sick of me complaining.
