Involved in an accident on the 17th
There may be unibody damage
Has anybody been rejected for repair on unibody damages by the insurance co?
If so did you take your vehicle somewhere else to get the unibody fixed?
Man this is the best car I have ever had! :wtf2:

Hey Nutria - Sorry to hear about the accident. Can you post some pictures? My daughter's I30 was t-boned on July 3rd. I literally brought it back from the dead for not a lot of money. Depending on the damage, you may be able to get it repaired. Some insurance companies will give a total settlement and (net a buy back fee) so you get to keep the car then take it to wherever you want to get it fixed or sell it to someone who will fix it.

Can you drive it?

If you do the buy back, the title most likely will have salvage title and then you have to go through the process of getting it approved which isnt too bad if you know what you are doing.

The wreck took out the drivers side rear wheel, rear door, rear fender, rear strut and rear axle beam
Took net insurance check to keep car
$1000 to repair wheel, strut, and rear axle beam
Car was 3/4" off on alignment machine before repair
Tried to go without the new axle beam but the car vibrated the strut's guts and
it leaked oil out of it
Car now drives better than before the wreck
Now to get the body work done
Texas car will get blue title with remarks it has been wrecked

Still looking for dallas texas body shop if anybody knows?
