Well, my wife was driving this morning on the 78 near college and hydroplaned and hit the medium. She was fine just shook up. I have wawanessa ins. An appraser will be out tomorrow to take a look. I thing the car may be totalled. If not can anyone recommend honest place to take it to. Take a look @ the pictures and let me know. I live in Oceanside.










































Im taking my wife to get checked out, any help would be great.

 

The car doesn't look too bad. Hope your wife is ok and won't be too sore.

 

it doesn't look like totalled... the frame has to be wasted, not just one piece of the sub-frame...

 

Have apraiser coming out. So if anyone has a place I can take it to let me know. If not I have a friend in Pasandena that can do it.

 

Take it to Paul Amato, or Mark Mozafarian

 

were are they? good reputation w/ our cars? do you have a number so I can call and see if they take my insurance?

 

wouldn't that be considered total?!?!

 

I believe the sub frame is a bolted onto the frame so if it's kinked they'd just replace it.

That car does not look totaled to me.

 

frame damage = yes...

sub-frame damage = no...


one says "sub" and the other doesn't...

 

I don't understand why people just don't take their cars to the dealership when insurance is paying for it? You're paying the same deductible regardless, so why not get OEM parts put on instead of cheap aftermarket parts that most auto shops use.

As far as the body panels, they'll send it out to their contracted body shop. The shop is going to be good because the Dealer's rep is on the line.

That's just my opinion.

Or take the car to the dealership to have all the suspension fixed, then take it to a body shop of your choice.

Get your monies worth, since you pay insurance, get what is entitled to you.
