So I had a crash. My car has been assessed as a repairable write off and I have to decide if I push the insurer to repair or I take the payout. I owe no money but would be out of pocket to purchase new(ish). I was not intending to trade it in or sell in the foreseeable future.
I understand the process if I opt for a write off. If I push for repair I know it needs review and scutiny.
I am thinking of pushing for repair. Anyone else gone down that path? Any gotchas or experiences to share? I really am in two minds right now.

Take the car to a mechanic you can trust and get a qualified opinion from someone who has actually seen your car.
Smash repair places often charge excessive amounts of money and your car might be repairable somewhere else for a fraction of the cost.
