My car was crashed

My40thZ · 08-09-2014, 08:56 AM

Hello everyone.

I took my car to have my CAT Armytrix exhaust installed on it at a local shop here in Destin Florida. Well the employees do the shop took my car for a joy ride and crashed it. Hours before the crash the foreman called and informed me that my car was almost complete. I was waiting at home for the next phone call to pick up my car. He called me and told me my car had been in an accident. I asked several times how much damage was done to my vehicle and why it was being driven off their property. He told me just the rear quarter panel was damage. That was a lie. When the legal proceedings are finished I will post the name of this company so no one else goes through this. My car was prestige, garage kept not a scratch. I put 3000 miles on it since I've owned her. I'm in and out the country a lot.

Your car is totaled too, I hope you know that

brutusvk · 08-09-2014, 09:04 AM

Sue them out of existence. And go after the driver as well.

My god I would kill someone. Best of luck I hope you sue them and win.

Sue them like you stole it! Wait...yeah...that kind of works!

Even if you repair the car, it will never be the same. There will be squeeks and rattles that came out of no where. I would be suing them for sure unless they come to you with at least 50k so you can buy the new Nismo

airbags deployed = automatic totalled / salvage title

good luck with everything.

Not true at all.

Each insurance company has a cost of repair against percentage of current value chart. Some insurers will repair at 70-80% of current value. Farmer's Insurance tried to repair my business partner's Cadillac with $22k of damage with a value of $29k. They only totaled it after I got involved

... and yes, Florida does suck for car insurance.

Where you getting the 30k number from? That seems high to me but who knows
You could certainly call BBB or blog the hell out of the business. It's just not right I would be so angry.

I'm sure you could also call a local News station. They'd probably eat that story up.

Good point... I was wondering why everybody believes when an airbag deploys it automatically means your car is totaled?? Just google it and you'll see that isn't true. It doesn't take much for an airbag to go off.... If your car is worth 40k and there is only 10k dollars in damage with a deployed airbag, what route do you really think the insurance company is going to take?

Good luck with everything OP
