Really? Last time I checked, they couldn't even handle a Triumph commission
number, only a 17 digit VIN.
Sorry to hear about your car, Marty. The insurance company has a legal
obligation to "make you whole", which should mean that they pay to fix the
car as good as it was before. I doubt they are going to cover a drop in
value due to a repaired accident unless you can make a very good case as to
exactly how much the drop is (ie a professional appraisal before and after).
One other thing, be sure to have the frame checked for straightness.
Frequently even a substantial 'tweak' is not obvious until you start making
measurements. If it is distorted, you could probably make a case that it
should be replaced. Of course, there is always the risk that they may total
the car instead ...
