A write off is usually when the value of the repair is more than 75% of the cars book value. Bear in mind that most bodyshops see ££££ with insurance jobs. Try taking it to Harry Ormerod on Pilot St & ask him to assess the damage. He repaired an Ibiza for me that the insurance boys wanted to write off, well within the 75% percentage & did a damn good job so that the Insurance not only kept the car on the road but paid for the repair too. Something to be said for the old indipendent bodyshop guys!
