Discovery 3rd party claim incorrect quotation approved

I submitted my 3rd party claim with the 2 quotes after discovery told me to submit 2 quotes. The 1st qoute was R44935.07 from Alberton panel beaters spray and paint and the 2nd quote was R30966.74 from Alberante panel beaters. Then they assigned my claim to their consultant Thabiso Twala, who ailed me to set an appointment with the assessor from Net assess to meet at Alberante panel beaters. The assessor came and assess and submitted her report and on Friday I received the email from Discovery notifying me of the approved quote, but only to realise that the approve quote and panel beater is non of the ones I have submitted. Then I call and emailed to get mo info on why was the quote and the panel beaters changed, not one of those I have submitted. I got no response from Thabiso or Discovery after trying many times to contact them. On Saturday went to the approved panel beater to get info and understand what is the way forward before signing any documents to release the funds from quote. When I get to Randow panel beater as the one approved. They looked at the quote and went to assess my car for damages only to realise that I am under quoted.

Good morning it has been over 48 hours waiting on the response from Discovery. As per below email. I am having anxiety driving a damaged car and not knowing why is it taking this long to review the quote as per the panel beater you have approved. This is affecting me big time, it is so stressful.

Dear Phumzile,We refer to below query.We have forwarded same to our assessors as well as the repairer to review, as soon as we receive feedback, we will advise. Thabiso Manaswe Twala (He/him)Legal Liabilities Advisor - Discovery Insure

Hi... Yooh! I am so so so so disappointed with discovery car insurance. Even today my issue is still an a problem to be resolved after I have been promised that my car will be fixed and no more problems, after meeting with the senior assessor. With their own quotation done and approved that all will be well. Now my car is stuck at the panel beaters with the parts that's don't fit and discover not responding to approve the correct lights. Now it has been a 4th week my car seating waiting for the part... I am so stressed and very disappointed. Thinking I nearly made a mistake of taking my insurance to them thinking they are better, kanti they are worse.
