Auto Accident Rear-Ended?
I was in a car accident about 3 weeks ago. After choosing a repair shop which is also a blue-ribbon provider for my insurance, it’s taken all this time for them to tell me they are going to take my car to another shop for repair because the initial shop doesn’t like to do the repair that the insurance adjuster is recommending.
Ok, here’s the deal I have a 07 Charger that was rear-ended the first shop told me that he would try to pull the rear-end out but he ended up having to cut the rear passenger ¼ panel, replacing the floor pan and some other things, now the insurance adjuster is wanting to do something called a rear-end clip (getting a salvage rear end) to replace the damaged one. I asked the first repair shop owner why he didn’t want to do the repair. He replied that it wasn’t worth the trouble. So of course that sounded a little fishy to me so I called some other local repair shops and was basically told that there was risk involved and liability. I would like to know what the safety risks of such a repair are and I don’t like the fact that I have to send my car to another shop because the first doesn’t want to do the repair.
the adjuster told me that I wouldn't have a salvage title but the car has already been chopped by the first repair shop.

TELL THEM TO STOP NOW…………………………….
THIS VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE A TOTAL AT THIS POINT AND WHAT THEY ARE TELLING YOU TO DO MIGHT WORK BUT THERE WILL BE LIABILITY.
IF THERE IS THAT MUCH DAMAGE YOU WILL NEED TO GET WHAT IS CALLED DIMINISHED VALUE FOR YOUR VEHICLE, IF I SAID I CORRECT.
WHAT THAT MEAN IS, AFTER THE VEHICLE IS FIX AND HOPEFULLY CORRECT AND YOU DECIDE TO SELL IT AT A LATER DATE, YOU WILL NOT GET THE ACTUALLY VALVE THAT IT IS WORTH BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT.
CALL YOU INSURANCE COMPANY AND TALK WITH THEM BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE, YOU SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE DODGE DEALER DO THE WORK SINCE IT IS A 2007.
BE CAREFUL BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE GET THE BAD NEWS WHEN THEY DECIDE TO SELL OR TRADE A VEHICLE WITH THIS MUCH DAMAGE.

I would have a nice, long talk with my insurance company about totaling the car. (Bring a lawyer.) The first repair shop (chosen by the insurance company) has already done more damage to your car, and it is probably not worth trying to repair at this point.
