Crazy right? The insurance company started out at $3400, the first shop I took it too couldn’t even start tearing it down until 2/19. Took it to another shop and they got it in 1/11. They’ve been great but insurance has made them tear down every piece and prove they couldn’t repair before they’d authorize any payments, took 2-5 days at every step for approval then they had to order the parts. The photos were really hard to tell the extent of the damage. The door jamb in rear was all buckled. They had to take apart that whole side and cut/splice/weld back together and paint, replaced both doors, and fascia,
side mirror, headlight, door glass, replaced bumper and refinished the wheels, 4 new tires, and alignment, adds up.
