A company’s employee backed my vehicle into another in a parking lot and it ended up being around $30,000 to fix. The high price was largely due to costs and required labor expertise to weld an aluminum body part that also functioned structurally. It sounds wild but the body shop made the case to the business’s insurer and convinced them it was absolutely necessary.
- bombcar 3y agoI’m surprised they don’t just sell the bumped car and give out a brand new one. The damage in the original is very small and I’d not mind having it as a beater.
- ridgered4 3y agoMy experience with old cars and full insurance coverage is if the car repairs cost more than the value of the car they just total it and pay out the estimated sale value of the car. Which isn't great if you were happy with the car. I remember my boss 15 years ago having an accident that totaled his old but reliable car because the trunk and read bumper were damaged. He bought the totaled car from the insurance company for $500 and just kept driving it. But it was a lot easier to get junker cars inspected back then.
