Can your lienholder hold your repair check from the body shop after the shop has repaired the vehicle and requested the money?

Yes, they can and, yes, it does happen. Primarily, this happens in situations where the person is behind in their payments. The lienholder will apply the check to the back payments.

If you receive a payment to help with damages do you have to use the payment to fix the damages?
1The answer depends on several circumstances, none of which you mention, so the answer has to be that it could be yes or no. Years ago I used to be an auto insurance adjuster. The policy of the company I worked for was this:1. IF the vehicle was NOT paid for [had a lienholder, like a bank or finance company], we had to make the draft out to our insured, AND to the body shop that was going to do the repair, OR If the insured requested, the names of our insured and his LIENHOLDER.This basically forced the insured to get the vehicle repaired, or at least to contact his lienholder and report the damaged vehicle. It was then between he and his lienholder whether he used the funds to repair the vehicle.2. On the other hand, IF our insured's vehicle was PAID OFF, and the insured wanted the draft made payable to himself only, then that's the way we wrote the draft.3. IF the draft was to a third party claimant, regardless of lienholder or not, we wrote the draft to the claimant only.

Should Automobile be fixed or replaced?
To the intelligent person, that decision should be a function of the value of the REPAIRED vehicle as compared to the projected cost of repair. You should determine the value of the vehicle BEFORE repair, add that amount to the cost of repair and if that total is MORE than the value of the vehicle after repair, sell the vehicle without repair. Some people have an emotional attachment to a vehicle. That changes the way you make decisions.

How does someone salvage cars?
A salvage vehicle is one that has received a certain percentage of the vehicle's worth in damage (determined by the state the vehicle is registered in). To salvage a vehicle in most states, one must be licensed to repair the vehicles and the vehicle, once repaired, usually has to be inspected. If the vehicle is salvaged and repaired to be sold, it is the responsibility of the seller to disclose the salvage title.
