Update: After the 10 day period of trying to get the insured to confirm it was there fault to no avail, I sent Geico a copy of the police report (they said it would take them 30 days to get a copy from Wildwod) stating that their insured was at fault due to careless operation. Within an hour they acknowledged responsibility, one of their approved lifetime guarantee body shops is Car Guys which I would have chosen so that's good, I drop the car off on 1/23, there will be and adjuster there as well as a rental car. One stop shop. It appears to have worked out well, didn't have to put up the deductible and still having Car Guys do the work. 18 days since the accident and all is well, at lear at this point. If I have any problems I'll reply again but hopefully this is the last post. Thanks for all of the advice.
