How do you know if you need a axle?

Perhaps the best indication that you have axle trouble is if your vehicle sounds like it runs fine and will go into gear, but simply will not move. This is often because the axle has bent or snapped near the universal joint. When you hit the gas your engine will only rev and you will not move forward.

Who determines if a car is totaled?

A car is considered totaled when it’s deemed to be a total loss after something unexpected happens. Insurance companies determine a car to be totaled when the vehicle’s cost for repairs plus its salvage value equates to more than the actual cash value of the vehicle.

How much will I get for a total loss?

To get an idea of what your totaled car is worth, find the Kelley Blue Book value for it in fair condition. Figure out what the 20 to 40 percent fair condition value is. Depending on the amount of damage done to your vehicle, it’s likely going to be closer to the 20 percent range, according to CarBrain.

When a car is Totalled What does insurance pay?

Your insurer will determine whether the vehicle is a total loss, based on repair costs. Your insurer will issue payment for the actual cash value of the totaled vehicle, minus your deductible on your comprehensive or collision coverage.
