I had a blowout on my 2011 Avalanche about 3 weeks ago. Body shop estimated $2200 to fix it. Progressive came to house and wrote their own estimate and was really close to the body shop estimate. They wrote me a check for almost $1,900. They reduced it by the deductible.

I got to looking at the Avalanche, and I realized this was going to be not much more than taking a few parts off and replacing them. I will have to cut the J-Wrap to length and cut out the fender wells. I also have to replace the vertical slide out trim. Loose tire flapped it and twisted it.

The parts were $191 and shipping is going to be $125.

I think I still came out alright. LOL!

By the way, I have a TPMS and it did not give me any warning. The tire blew and then the monitor went off.
