Seems like they will not total it. I will tow it to the shop I am familiar with and have it fixed there. I will end up being responsible for the tow from the first shop to the new shop, and the tear down at the old shop. Because insurance is only going to cover one tow and one tear-down charge.

The new shop will help on the cost for the tow though, because of the business I think. So things are turning out not too bad. No unibody damage reported by the original shop. Just many panels damaged. So I guess I can have my car back perfectly.

scoobsport98: Yup you are right. I shouldn't have crashed in the first place. Luckily no bodily damage to anyone and myself this time =)

 

A couple of tips, make sure the shop fixes it right!! And whatever you can think of or think may have been damaged replace it. I had an issue a while back where I have my car repaired total cost about $16,000. Shouldve totaled it but inusurance insisted not to. Well not even a month after getting my car back I noticed my rotors went bad, the wheel bearings where all bad and shouldve been replaced along with the hubs and knuckles but they weren't. And I can honestly say my car isn't perfect like it use to be. So make sure even after getting your car fixed the shop offeres a warranty on the work they do. Look for the parts that are not obvious; wheel bearings, brakes, hubs, interior damage, etc.

 

if it gets junked, let me know. I need a new front bumper for my 04 wagon. ;x
