call your insurance co ask how much they will pay if you can find a body shop to fix it. then you will be able to keep the car have it fixed and can still get it insured,,,you see if car is totaled and you get paid for the total you never get your title again,,,you get a rebuilt or totaled titled;

I was rear ended in my show truck, full of mods, they wanted to total it and pay me 7800,, I called and was told the would pay 5300 for repairs IF I COULD FIND A BODY SHOP TO DO IT, WITH A WRITTEN EST. I did that i got a dealer friend to write up an estimate for $5298. they paid me the 5298 less my 500 deductable, I fixed the truck myself and then made it a work truck, i kept full coverage on it also. jim
