 What damage should I look for specifcally in a car that rolled over?



I'm speaking more in the mechanical/structural sense. Like what damage is typically common in rollover cars that might be missed by a shop that I should tell them to specifically look for, i.e. bent control arms, broken sway bar links, etc.

My car is in the repair shop and insurance is paying for everything so far, but I want to make sure they find every problem so there are no problems later on about debating if it was damaged in the accident or not.

Thanks,
-Chris

Sorry about that. What is the cost so far to repair?

I would want it totaled. Who wants a car that has rolled over? The structural integrity if the car has been compromised. I dont know how many roll overs cars are designed to withstand..but I would think ONE is enough.

No matter what they do....it still will have a "tweaked" body/frame....my guess the cost to repair it is ~ 25-30k but the insurance is paying only 15-20k?

I'd check the driver seat leather for an organic skid mark. Holy cow! That doesn't look like any fun at all!
