1991 Ford Escort suffered roof damage.

Car was parked and hit by falling limb from a maple tree.tThe limb measured 16 inches at its base and weighed approximately 400 lbs. The roof caved in 3 to 4 inches. Dambge goes from the rear windshield to the front windsheil.

One body shop says the car is totaled (repitable shop)

Second body guy says to dent roof back out.


What do you guys think?

Personally, I think the car is totaled. convincing my step daughters father of that is the problem.

Thanks

You take how much is it going to cost for the repair and it should not excess 75% of the valve of the car
