That sucks, I'm sorry to hear it... Can be a very stressful proceess....especially if you have a love affair with your car,
Your insurance (or hers) should send an adjuster to you or ask you go to one of their adjusters for the initial estimate. They'll provide an initial estimate based on what they can see without getting in depth. You should have the right to be able to go to any collision repair shop of your chosing. Ask around in the local car community or friends and see what is recommended. The shop you choose will start getting into it deeper and determine what the TRUE repair costs will be. If this is different then what the insurance adjuster estimates then the repair shop wilil explain the discrepancy and the ins. will cut a check to the repair shop for the difference. At least this is how it is in MD anyway. Often times Ins. Co. will have "authorized repair centers" that they work with and try to push you in that direction. I would not recommend going this route and would go with someone who has been recommended and you can trust. $.02

*tear*

I took my car to Honda, where my ex works & all my friends, and they work directly with United Collision - so I will see what they say & go from there...

I gotcha... just didn't sound like you trusted the place you took it to when you said "I told them I want to know everything that's going on & they do not have permission to touch my car without consulting me first. I am paranoid because of the mods on my car, I don't want them to f*** anything up!"

Good luck with it all

The worst part ~ My 21st birthday is THIS SATURDAY (5/7) and all this shit happens...I am so pissed

 

[Jack Rot]

i'd be like " i rather have a broken fucking leg then have this happen to my car, i can repair a broken leg easier than a broken teg!! "

I just HATE having to wait to hear back from the collision center about what they decide...Totaled - Repairable? I don't want to lose my car

 

[r0g3r16]

ooh keeping you in suspense then yeah thats a horrible feeling i hate that, thats why i try doing everything my self because i hate the feeling of not knowing exactly whats going on

I can't handle this suspense...I NEED to know what's going on with Snow White, and I HATE the fact that she isn't at Honda (5 mins from my house)...GHEY

Similar thing recently happend to me....after almost 3 weeks of battling with the insurance theyre giving me $3,000 to repair my car, its a 95 gsr, they only give you what the "book value" is on the car, luckily mine was set at 4k.

find a shop that will do it cheap....parts for what you need are no more than $600.... dont ever EVER take your car to honda collision, i made that mistake at first, they quoted the repairs at 5k, and thats why my insurance gave me such s***.

they said i needed a new a/c condenser, and all this bulls*** under the hood, when they never even popped the hood, i was the first to pop it open after it left honda and i took it to my other body shop, because once the hood was opened the latch wouldnt catch again.....

battle the f*** out of your insurance, i have full coverage and never been in an accident before, especially since this isnt your fault, sue her for your repair costs, dont accept a total loss, its your choice.

Btw, its easier for state farm to total out a car then pay for the repairs if its over 80% of the cars value, i have state farm which is supposedly the best, and they gave me the biggest hassle in life, overall, my claim rep did try his best to save my car, and explaining your situation and all that, and being nice and courteous goes a long way.

good luck on repairs!

The airbag alone is $900+ so I don't know how you figure $600 for the parts... Unless they are ghetto and throw a used one in.

Airbag did not deploy, I wasn't going fast, hood is 100$ bumper is 90$ all new oem parts. Body shops get good deals, nothing ghetto in this car
