to make a long story sort, surprise snow and summer tires didn't mix well on sat night. i had a medium-strength crash in the car; nothing more than bumper knocked off and brackets toasted, but the airbags both went off.
as i understand, airbags deploying often means a car will be totalled. on the other hand, i'm told the car won't be totalled unless the cost of repairing it reaches 75% of its Blue Book value.
i have a hard time understanding how airbags can be that expensive; can anyone give me an idea of how this works? is there anything i can do to make repair and return of my car more likely? does anyone have a connection for cheap replacement airbags?
any advice needed, unfamiliar with this process and don't want geico to total my pride and joy.
