Recap – Making Sure a Vehicle Won’t Total (Scrubs Only)

FIRST READ THIS

Not sure if Dent Ops’ estimate will total the vehicle? Most estimates at or below 60-65% of value WILL NOT total. Some states allow estimates up to 100% of value!

Want to guarantee the vehicle won’t total? Follow these steps:

  1. Contact the insurance company / adjuster.
  2. Tell insurance you are concerned about the vehicle totaling, but that the vehicle owner does not want the vehicle to total and that you are able to complete repairs.
  3. Ask what $ amount or % of value/threshold the estimate needs to stay below to avoid totaling the vehicle.
  4. (optional) guarantee that your estimate will not exceed that $ or % to make sure insurance will not total the vehicle.

Need Dent Ops to reduce your estimate? You MUST provide a target $ amount or % of value/threshold for Dent Ops to complete an estimate reduction.
