Car totaled by hail. Keep or relinquish?

That is not now totalling a vehicle works. The insurance pays out the money and take the vehicle, hoping to make back some of that money by selling parts. When my 2017 Prius was totalled, I was given no option of keeping the vehicle.

 

A conventional body shop replaces bolt on pieces including hood, fenders, hatch sometimes doors and even seam sealed roof panels. Fillers only on unibody panels. Followed by a paint job.

PDR pops out the uniform hail dents without repaint. Higher skill but minimal parts equal much less cost.

 

Climate change is starting to be real......sike!
