got into an accident
I'm not saying in all cases DV is bad, it's a hassle for sure for all parties involved, however there are valid cases of DV; FOR SURE. This truck wouldn't have much DV if any from the "Frame damage" I would almost guarentee that it isn't off. The hangers for measuring frame damage are behind where that rail end is.. That's why they offer front rail end sections and it's an approved I-Car procedure. Majority of the time on DV claims the shop will just have to "keep fixing it" until the damage is fixed up to par. *Looking at the picture again, the top bolt for the front bumper mount looks like it's oblonged/stretched. They may end up having to do a front rail end anyways.
I don't know what dollar amount they would put on the branding on carfax- autocheck... Do what you'd like and feel comfortable with. DV claims are not easy on any side.

I don't care if the car is put back to 100% with OEM parts, it's never able to be sold as "never wrecked" and will have a significant red flag on the CARFAX/Autocheck (Wrecked PLUS Frame Damage) and will most definitely decrease the resale value of the car, hence DV. That's just my experience/opinion - you can usually pay a couple hundred to get a professional DV appraisal which would help your cause.
No need to go all ***** nilly unless you just have money. The fenders are an easy fix and that mild of a hit wouldn't hurt the doors or pillar. I honestly can't tell but I doubt that would make it to the frame machine either, just a few minutes with a chain and pole at most, your good bro.
Like I said, if you want you can bring it where I work and I can hook you up. I think I even have an 05+ front end if you want to upgrade, I know I have the grill.
If I took a picture of the high school parking lot it would probably hurt a lot of feelings lol. Must be nice.... Last year it looked like a damn car show between the Trans Am's, 3 convertible first gens, my chevelles and camaro's, friends nova, several classic mustangs etc..

I took it to strickland chevy in pearland, they already fixed the frame and fenders and are waiting on a hood to come in. Ive never heard of DV?? How does all that work, and my truck is a 02 with 175k miles but is well maintained!

Nah my bags didnt blow but my steering wheel was loose after the accident i guess when i was gripping it and hit her i jarred something loose but the guy at strickland said they fixed it, also my doors are fine my fenders didnt even shift just got some minor dents and scratches but they got that takin care of.
It's not about getting rich just all those other shops charge out the *** for everything lol. But damn that's quick, that's an expensive shop tho so i guess they aren't too busy.
nah they were sitting on their *** in a circle when i went to go look at my truck, but then again it was like 10 minutes before they closed for the day so im sure even if they did have work to do they were just like F*** IT!!!! i wish i could do that at my job.
