    I really did the research on this too, I got about 12 estimates. from all over town. pluis talking to my father-in-law (mechanic) and a few others (all mechanics/body guys) I ended up making about 900$ off the accident. For yours, you should be golden.

        Progressive Auto in south Fargo was the highest estimate when my girlfriend got hit, she had the work done there and I was very impressed with the work and they were very easy to work with

            Made $$$?? Tell me more.. I'm in the process of dealing with an insurnace company w/ an accident that happened in Early Oct. They finally told me that they'd take care of it but wanted an address. I got 3 Estimates right away; Quality, NWest, and a Dealer. Quality was the Most.. North West seemed to be the best of the 3 from what I had noticed.

              In my accident, the insurance company made an estimate and wrote the check in my name, so in-turn I made $$$ as well.

                Dahls in the moorhead industrial park, high estimates. extremely aswome work. the places like NZ and ET(or what ever they are going to be called now)

                if there is no loan on the vehicle it is your choice to do what you want with the vehicle, fix or not fix. so just ask for the $$$. we did this with both my dads old trucks, the one got somewhat sideswiped, we just buffed it and left the dent and got like $1200 and my dads last truck got rear ended on main street and the damage wasnt really noticeable but came to around the 2k mark and he took the cash, and sold the truck. my nieghbor just did the same thing

                    I went to Quality Auto Body today and got a initial estimate of 6500, which didnt include some interior damage.

                          They WILL write the check to you! they'll try to get you to go through a body shop they work with, but just make sure to go somewhere they dont have a dirrect account with, and they will write you the check...

                          no race car? becuz homeowner...

                            Quality autobody gave me the highest. Also, remember, you only need ONE estimate. So only turn in your HIGHEST estimate to your insurence, or they will choose the lowest for you.

                                  Brian, did they give you that $6500 estimate and say that's all it was going to take? I know when my truck got wrecked, there were like 3 or 4 checks that were written to me, because as they were taking stuff apart, they would find more stuff that needed replacing. I hope for your sake that they total it and you can get a new car!

                                  And also, if they total it and give you the option to buy it back, let me know how much they want for it 😉

                                    That did not include any of the stuff messed up under the hood. My wastegate is bent, intercooler leaks, intake and filter broke, electonic boost controller wires cut, fuse box broke, etc......i just told him to to include those oem things yet because they are aftermarket. If i have problems with insurance i will have them put those parts back to stock and that should be enough to total it.

                                      75%? that doesnt sound right. When i crashed my talon it was considered totaled because the estimate was more then the cars worth.

                                        ^^ IE over 75% of the cars value. If the cost to repair the vehicle is 75% or higher of the total vehicles value then they "total" the car.
