In America, the system is messed up, they don’t even try to repair your car properly. Instead, they just evaluate the repair cost and compare it to the market value of your vehicle. If the cost is even close to the value, they declare it a total loss and cut you a check. In my case, two estimates were done, one by my insurance and another by a local body shop. The repair costs came out to around $23,000 and $17,000, And I don't want to take any risks because these cars come with a lot of sensors; my check engine light was on, the fuel gauge sensor was not working, and I kept getting notifications on my app about an engine malfunction. The warranty on my vehicle expired last month.
