In my opinion, if you wanted your shite fixed the right way and in a timely manner, you should have taken care of it yourself.. how can you rely on the same slapdick who messed up your truck to get the MFer fixed?
You should have contacted his boss right away because now you have lost a little credibility because you waited so long to contact the right person - that's why she had to check to make sure her employee actually did it

His insurance company is to protect him, the valet insurance is no different than if they were driving another vehicle and ran into him. At least I'd assume so. It would be like if you let someone else drive your vehicle and they got into an accident. Their insurance covers them, but they'd deal with your insurance to right the situation.

2) let the OT do work

I know. I'm a nice guy and try to let people correct their mistakes. I should have gone scorched earth on the guy and his boss. I mean, it's not like I have to see them 4 times a day for the forseeable future.

It's not scorched earth Mr. Extreme
It's called protecting what's yours... don't expect people to go out their way to make things right on your behalf.. I'm not saying to get the guy fired but I would have handled it myself

and when you are done, find somewhere else to park because those valet guys are going to do something to your vehicle in revenge for getting their friend in trouble.

nobody said anything about filing suit. just get your boy to send a letter threatening suit. there is a difference. also, if you are in a major city, there is probably a small claims court. or you could just call your insurer if they don't pay up.

So you have a "valet guy", but no insurance agent or a lawyer?
They are the ones that need to be getting this done and doing the legwork, not you.
You shouldn't be out out anymore that just the bare minimum for someone else's frick up.
WTF is a "valet guy"? I am familiar with the terms, but not exactly sure what you mean.

Valeting an F150 is alpha in my book. Some would say embarrassing, but not me.

A valet parker you idiot.

What I kinda figured. Thanks.

What model & year F150? Heated mirror with blinker?

Also you should go get an estimate or have an estimate done by who you want to fix it. It's your vehicle and you deserve to be made whole. Including having it fixed by someone you trust.
They should have an adjuster, thru their insurance, that can come look at your vehicle and verify that the estimate is in line with what it should cost.
The last time I was in an accident the adjuster came and checked out my truck and cut me a check in the spot. They have software programs that give them the labor and parts prices and I believe most body shops go by the same thing now.
I'm no expert, just how it was explained to me. I thought I would have to do the three estimate thing and had actually already gotten one of two when I was told that's no longer how it's done.
Actually the last two times I've had to deal with auto insurance the adjuster either met me somewhere on my way home if the truck was OK to drive or they came to my house.
Got checks then and there both times. They have a little computer with a printer they carry around with them.

You can try to get the garage or their liability insurer to pay you directly, but they will string it out and quibble until you go insane. Meanwhile, you have no mirror.
Consider doing what I've done twice before when our vehicles have been hit by others who were at fault. I called my insurer and immediately got my car in the shop for repairs, covered by my collision coverage. No waiting on the other party or his insurer.
My collision insurer then got with the at-fault person's liability insurer and handled all the PITA of getting them and me reimbursed. I also got a check to reimburse me for my collision deductible. My insurer assured me it did not affect my rates since we were not at fault, and it did not.
It's worked smoothly twice for me with State Farm. Your mileage may vary.

2009, yes all the bells and whistles.
And yes, to the valet guy question. I work downtown and park in a pay by the month parking garage.
Eta: Been parking in this particular one for 2.5 years.

OEM price + shipping for mirror can be found in the link. Tasca Ford is probably the cheapest Ford OEM parts available. I have changed them out on a 04-08 model and it's pretty easy. Have to take off the door panel and 3 bolts on the mirror. I would guess dealer should charge 2.0 hours or less. Took me less than an hour the first time.

Only answer is to go to his moms house and start a small fire in her panties.
