so you sued them or wat? if not did you get any $$? did you buy the car back from them? If you have the car Ill buy the damn thing, its fixable, their lazy assess just prob think there's too much work involved that they wont make no money so they told allstate to total it, but that is the way to do it, you have to cut the quarter where it was hit, but you have to get the full piece.

Same **** happened to me recently. I had a perfect WS6 and a guy ran into me. His insurance(State Farm) recommended I go to the local Pontiac dealer. They half assed all the repairs, bascially just putting reconditioned panels over all the torn up metal and parts underneath. I got the car over to Richey Collision and Chris and Karen fought his insurance and the dealership and eventually, the dealership bought my car for $24k!!! and fired the bodyshop manager. HAHA.
Moral of the story, never take your car to a dealership for body work. And if your near Houston, take it to Richey Collision!

After notifiying Allstate of this they sent someone out and counted it as a total loss, due to the actions of Momentum BMW. The car was repairable before those idiots got a hold of it. I got hit by someone who didnt have insurance, a license and it was a hit and run. The guy was chased by civilians and the cops caught up to him 30 mins later and gave him a ticket for no license, he gave false insurance information. Illegal immigrants, lazy cops, and shitty body repair shops destroyed my dream car. On a good note my wife wants me to get an 09 SS. Ill try and post picks before and after accident and repair work.
The car had 36k and was in mint condition before the accident.

Am I seeing this right? Did they actually cut try to cut off the section that was damaged and splice on on new section?
Why didn't they just replace the parts? You should have taken it to some of the body shops in Houston that specializes in F-Bodies, like Lanes HiTech in Pasadena. That guy works all kinds of miracles, and his cars pretty much come out better then new.
