Maintenance/Repairs

A couple of months ago my Yaris was hit just behind the driver side door by a Ford F150, luckily traveling at a low speed. Other than body damage, my car seemed to be fine. After driving the car around for 2 weeks with the damage then taking it in for its 10 day repair, I brought home my wonderful little car. I live in Florida and even though it’s winter, we had a rather warm day, just a couple days after bringing my car back home. I turned on the AC and …nothing came out. So I tried it on higher settings and …still nothing came out until I got to the highest blower setting. Suddenly it sounded like someone had turned a blender on inside my car but some air was making its way out of my blowers. I called the shop that did my repairs and they said “well, you probably just blew a fuse. It’s not accident related so we can’t take care of it without charging you.”

My understanding was that I would not be able to get my blower to work at all if a fuse was blown, and my air certainly worked following the accident and prior to getting repairs done. If a fuse was blown, I’m willing to bet a lot of money that the shop was responsible.

…the fact that they also broke my glove compartment, got paint all over my seat, and made my car smell like a paint store also make me weary of using them again, but my insurance company swears by them.

First of all, any ideas what is wrong with my car? Second of all, how do I fix it?
