Is my tacoma likely to be totaled now?

So then it's been declared totaled??

 

Totaled.Seems like a LOT of damage was done AFTER the accident.

 

I was wondering why in the OP photo there were two different front tires.

The biggest shame in all this though? The Pro Badge fell off. I would cry my eyes out if my Pro Badge was damaged or gone.

 

Guess it will depend if the frame is bent.

I hit a deer on the interstate going 70mph with my 2019 Tacoma.
The truck only has 2,301 miles on it.
The estimate was around $15,800 and insurance is fixing it.

 

Anyone ever get the BRAKE warning when reaching the bottom of a hill? It has happened to me a couple times

 

mine alerted me while going up hill, there was a tree with branches over the road and i think it saw it as a vehicle or obstruction because of the angle.

 

I am a firm believer that once a car is in a body shop, it will never, ever be the same. Misalignment parts here and there, missing clips, broken pieces, bondo... People always tell me I don't know what I am talking about but I have seen the way vehicles look when at "collision centers" and they are never the same.

 

You sure that deer wasn't a John Deere?

 

As a trained and certified collision repair professional, I can tell you that you Indeed don’t know what you are talking about.

 

Unfortunately there’s a lot of this floating around on this forum.

 

Problem is there are a lot of repair people that do not "care about their work" as you seem to do! Thank you for doing your job well.

 

I’m really not too sure l, now that you ask I’m questioning a lot of things

 

I took them off the adjuster said take what you want

 

Nope

 

I’m really not too sure but seems sketchy

 

Not totaled, but moved with a forklift and you were allowed to remove parts.... something smells funny.

 

Might be able to Salvage that AFE Power sticker...

 

Again, it's always from people that work at body shops that say this. Why is it I can always, 100% of the time, tell when a car has been in an accident, even a very minor one after being professionally repaired? I dont' care how good a "filler" is, once a car goes from metal to not metal it will never be the same.

 

I don't think that's it personally, it's just that a body shop can never match the precision and fit and finish that the factory does.

 

Of my line of thinking? Maybe there is a good reason for it. Again, just my opinion and we know what people say about opinions.
