If a shop chooses to overlook the deductible it comes out of their pocket and in this economy I can't see why a shop would do it. But thats just my opinion.

It's just a marketing thing like a coupon. "Come to A1 auto repair and we'll pay your deductible", it's no different than printing a $300 coupon in the press. Or like when those furniture store throw out the "and we'll pay your sales tax", we'll as we know that's not really the case, they just cut the cost to negate the tax....either way a business should have the right to market for advantage. It's not like there is a loser in there, the truck gets fixed, the insurance company pays the same, the bodyshop just lured me in with a discount.
