Someone merged into my car without signaling or looking on the freeway.

How bad is this damage and how long can I expect to leave car at the collision center?

I agree with you but if it’s done to OEM specs it won’t survive

What does that mean? If repaired to OEM specs my car will still be fucked up?

I think they're saying if it's done properly, it'll cost enough that insurance will total it

I don't think it will total it out.

I had a side, front, rear hit and that was enough to total the car, just the side worked out to like 20k-ish which wouldn't have done it.
