My truck was t-boned during the arctic madness in February and as I am still battling the other insurance company that thinks they can fix it and stay under the 75% value mark even with replacing the floor of the cab. So If they do so, I want to have an appraisal done to document a diminished value claim.
The dealers body shop has estimated over $19k to fix and the estimator for State Farm is only approving $13.5k while not seeing the requirement to pull the cab to replace the floor. They already have to pull the bed, rear bumper, left front fender and front bumper, replace driver and drivers side rear door, replace the entire B-pillar, repair/replace the c-pillar/corner of the rear of the cab, rocker panel, step, etc. The current floor has compromised integrity due to a ripple and crease in it by the rear door and popping in the floor with minimal weight at the midline. I honestly think it is a total loss as I don’t think anyone will warranty the structural integrity down the road.
I see this as showing up as severe damage on a vehicle history report which will severely impact future valuations of the truck.
Thus I need to find someone that is reasonably priced but understands the issues at hand.
Anyone that you guys can recommend in Ft. Worth, especially on the West Side ?
