So it's at the shop. They estimate damage close to $7000 as axle is damaged. He cannot get it on the lift to measure the frame as he needed to replace both spring packs and get axel in place to even roll it. I estimate it as a 12-15000 blazer so I think it will be under 65% and won't be totaled. The shop owner will also make the case that this is worth more that 8200. I don't get why they spend money on it before it's been approved for repairs.
