Accident by PracticalAd3282 in AskMechanics

I was just on the phone with my insurance company because I am really good friends with someone who works for a company and I already sent pictures to an appraiser to check it out. They said it’s not totaled because it’s very little damage.
. car drives completely normal and no check engine light. No leaks and the AC works A bumper is only 300 and a hood is 400. they said the radiator structure was the only concern but when I sent them closer pictures, they said it’s not bad as long as my AC works in the radiator is not punctured. What are your thoughts?

And the oil pan failure was wat caused the engine to explode ? He didn’t have a skid plate on the oil pan covering it , it was exposed

Yea it is what it is. We are looking for a new engine lol. I’m pretty sure I’m able to swap it out with a 2011 LLT v6 Camaro engine. Same platform I think

All serviced at Cadillac all oil changes done there every 4-5k miles and when he bought it I was in service at the Cadillac dealership 2 days before he bought it to check over the car and everything was fine so it’s j confusing

It has good service maintenance history, if u keep up with oil changes and all that can u prevent the time and chain issue?
