Did you report the dent to your insurance company? When did you get the truck returned? How do you ascertain that there was a lot more damage to the engine? Did you take it to another mechanic to have fixed?
No I didn't report to insurance company the school admitted fault and have sent them an estimate, but have not got a respose since. I picked the truck up on 05-15-13, As for the engine damage yes I took it to a mechanic that I trust and know personaly. He me come into his shop yesterday and showed/explained to me what damage was done do to the school. The work that was done by the school was cylinder head replacement, which requires several different gaskets and bolts repalced. The school replaced the head and gaskets but not the cylinder bolts which is a must. They also put a timing gear in backwards which in turn ruined the timing chain. they broke all of electrical pigtail clips to the fuel injector. I could keep going but these are the main problems at the moment.
First, follow up with the school to find out when you can expect payment and how much.
I sent the estimate 5/20 or 5/21 I faxed it to the number given to me by the school.
Did you follow that up with a call to make sure the fax was received? It has only been ten days. Most likely this has to go through the school's superintendent if not the board as well as legal counsel AND then to their insurance company.
No I didn't call to see if they received it I got a confermation not as received by the fax machine. But I do plan on calling them first thing Monday morning.
