Texas body shop says 'Thank you' to Farmers
Many great stories about Farmers helping Houston and Galveston residents recover from Hurricane Ike have been brought to light. Here is one kind of story we don't hear much about — Farmers helping a local business reopen its doors.
Brian Pyle, APD special claims representative, explains how grateful a local body shop was for the service it received from him and Farmers. 
After we helped the Bear Creek Body Shop reopen their doors after Hurricane Ike, they put up a large thank-you banner. I thought it was pretty cool, especially since the shop is huge — about 36,000 square feet.
They even let me use their golf cart to drive around to look at their claims. Right now, I’m handling 13 claims they have on customers’ vehicles after one of the walls in the shop fell on customers’ vehicles, heavily damaged four of them, and caused minor damage to the rest.
I asked them about the banner and they [said] that they wanted to put it up because we really took care of them. Hearing that really makes you feel like you are making a difference in people’s lives.
