Lessons Learned
 SHOP TALK TODAY...
This ones for Big-T(drp question)

Weve all heard all the negative horror talk regarding DRPs and we all have our sides of the fence. Here is something I never really hear discussed much. What do you guys think about the DRP shops who make under the table bonds with the adjusters to pad estimates? Then, under this scenario, it is not the shop or customer losing like under normal circumstances, but rather the insurance companies. The shop gets a lot of work from the drp, gets paid well to do the jobs, the customer gets a better quality job. I know people will say this does not or cannot happen, but it does. What is your guys' take on this?
