Have You Totaled Your Car?

After all of these years do we really know what defines a “totaled” vehicle?  This term sparks heated conversation between insurers, policy holders, and auto body shops.  The final decision usually hinges upon the amount of money it would take to completely fix your car.  Usually a car is deemed to be totaled when the value of the damage that it has sustained exceeds its resale value.

For example, a car that is worth say $3000 on the Blue Book open market must have sustained less damage than that.  It is also fair to say that a newer vehicle that has sustained many thousands of dollars of damage may be reparable because its restored value is reasonably less than your insurance company wants to pay.

Arrow Body and Fender of Elmwood Park Illinois repairs ALL damages that are deemed reparable.  After 68 years Arrow Body and Fender knows what you are going through with your insurance company and will proceed accordingly.   We are your full service Chicagoland Auto Body repair shop.  Give Arrow Body and Fender a call at (708) 456-9424.
