If your car is a total loss will the insurance company help you fix it if you both pay?

If your car is deemed a total loss, the insurance company will only pay up the value of the vehicle. They will have nothing to do with the repairs. If the vehicle is worth $5,000 and the damage is $8,000, you are going to pay $3,000 out of your own pocket. Once the insurance company pays you that $5,000, they are out of the picture. Just be prepared for a 'salvage' fee to be deducted from your settlement by the insurance company. That is what they would have gotten for your vehicle if you had surrendered it to them.

How do they determine the amount to pay for a total loss vehicle?

Depends on the insurance company, most use NADA or Kelly used car guides then adjust for high or low mileage. They will also consider recent high cost repairs. New tires and brakes are considered maintenance nit improvements. In some states you have the option of making the insurance company replace your vehicle with the same model year and mileage. The insurance company is out to pay as little as possible so stand hard on your claim. Good luck!!
