Insurance is towing my vehicle to a Copart 110 miles away. Is she ever coming back? Should I ask to take her to a local body shop first instead?

I dunno, but I think the main issue is whether it is totaled or not. Wherever it is now maybe your agent or a local guy can quick look at it to provide a clearer picture. Regardless of where it is towed to though, you still have the title and own it until you sign it over. If they tow it and you then decide to fix it, you could have it done in the larger city where it is being towed to to give you more options.

It doesn’t have to be a complicatied thing. I had my accident Friday night, the car was towed to the warehouse. I picked my stuff up on Saturday morning and met with my agent. Sometime during the week when I was off to school, they paid my dad, he paid the bank, and found me another car. So all done in a week. Even if repairable, right now there may be problems with parts, significant time to repair it, and shops too busy to get it in right away. But I still think from the way the back end is pushed in, there is significant undercarriage damage, more than just a quarter panel, trunk, etc.
