To make a long story short, the front end of my car was smooshed while empty and parked, by a drunk dude in a mini moving truck.
I talked to ICBC and asked the woman about carseat replacement after putting my claim in and she said not to use the car seat at all and as soon as the ICBC claim office opens on Tuesday take the car seat in and the receipt, show it to them and they should write me a check for the amount it is worth. I told the woman I am not sure that I still have the receipt and she said that is fine that they would look up the current price for my same seat and issue me a check that way, my seat is only 7 months old so the price online should be the same as when I bought it.
I guess my question(s) are:
what are other peoples experiences in dealing with ICBC and seat replacement? Any advice on dealing with them regarding this issue?
Does all the info I was given sound correct; not using my seat, bringing it in to show them and not having the receipt?
What happens to my old seat, will I be able to take it home and take the parts off I want for spares, chest clip, cover etc.? Is it safe to do this and are there any other parts I might want to hold onto?
Thanks very much for any help!
Sorry if its too many questions in one thread, I can break them up if that would be better.
