Today is 7/28. I was in a car accident on 6/28 where my car was damaged & so was the other car involved. I had my car taken to a reputable collision center where it sat for a week before I heard anything from State Farm. I then received a call from There total loss unit, stating that they have totaled the car & would pay out $9578.32 after my $500 deductible. They came up with an estimate $9390.14. Sounds less expensive to repair the car. I will give you one better. The repair location that I took it to gave an estimate of $7924.43. State Farm still contests its a total loss.
I have used this repair location multiple times because of the industry Im in & I know they would not rip me off or repair my car if it would not be safe. I would not be making such a big deal out of this if it wasnt for the fact that the estimator came to the lot & made a five minute assumption that the car was totaled & the amount they have offered me is a LOW ball amount. My only guess is that he personally wants the salvage for himself. I cannot believe that there word is the final word as told to me from there manager.
