The insurance company's estimate is in at $6,984, of which $3,749 are parts and the remaining being labor and materials. The most expensive parts to replace include the trunk lid at $1,445 and rear bumper cover at $753. The remainder includes the taillamp, trunk lock, and rear reinforcement, each running at just under $300, and other smaller sums here and there.
My concern is the method of repair for the unibody frame. The estimate states that the frame will be pulled. Is this something I should accept? What would be the alternative?
Pulling the frame back into shape would weaken that area and compromise the frame's ability to endure another rear-end collision. Do I have a choice here?
