Got rear ended by someone texting and driving. Thoughts?

Is it repairable? Yes.

Is it worth repairing? Depends. Be sure to get three estimates from body shops you find, not just the insurance company's favorite. And insist on genuine Toyota parts, although used parts may be all you get for some things.

Also request the decreased value of the car -- now that it's been in a major accident, it's worth less, even after being repaired.

Yeah I need to wait until monday, the other driver's insurance company is so small that to talk to a human I must wait until Monday. the thing that has me worried is the frame bar that got bent, if its repaired I'm not sure it would take another impact this severe.

any sites where I can get an estimate of the cars decreased value?
