My Tahoe is totaled

[10sec]

I'm not sure where you live, but I have suggested this place to more than a handful a people and everyone loved their work. They are super expensive, but they do shit right. So you'd either get a quote that totals the truck out or you'll get it fixed properly. Win/win.

anything is technically repairable really...

full frame vehicles can be pulled and fixed and from a solid shop you'd have no idea the repair was ever performed.

that being said though, this sounds like allstate being allstate. they will fix anything and everything and try their best to fix anything and everything.

get it to the absolute best shop you can and possibly even make sure they aren't an "allstate shop"

back when i was in it- a-state would use some really questionable used parts... doors that needed 2-3 hours of repair before they even could be refinished and shit.

If its repairable so be it, its a $5,000 truck that I use for work.
I just find it hard to believe the adjuster doesnt think the repairs exceed the value of the truck. My wifes 2018 Cherokee just came back from the shop for a minor door ding, and that was a $1300 repair.

Oh its going to the shop I have used for years. Same guys that did all my custom paint on my first Charger, they just repaired my wifes Cherokee and I have sent numerous people there over the years.

it's their game

they want you to go away they want to bandaid it back together as cheaply as possible.

they will write an estimate avoiding blends, using low grade used parts, not wet sanding and buffing, repairing where parts should be replaced, etc.

Totally understood, shop I use will make sure its done correctly.
Ladies insurance that backed in to my wifes Cherokee only wanted to pay $600 for repairs at their shop. My guy was $1300, so had to use my insurance and pay deductible. Now I sit and wait for my $500 to be returned as my insurance goes after theirs.

Well after a bunch of back and forth with the body shop. I just rcvd a call from Allstate and they are going to total it out. No buy back price yet as I have to wait for the person who handles the financials of totaled vehicles to call me back and issue a check. But I'm getting more than what I paid for the truck 6 months ago. Didnt know they gave you tax/title/registration when totaling a car out.
$6053 for the truck
$655 for tax/title
$120 for registration

I think they have to now. It was changed recently.
