That would be a better repair.

I agree this car needs to be totaled, no questions asked. I'm the unlucky SOB that gets stuck repairing it. If it were up to me I would have totaled it on the roll back. What choice do I have? My gut tells me I should tell the boss I'm not doing it. But, I've got a family to feed. Getting a job around here is like most other places, they're not easy to come by. Especialy with all of the dealerships that closed. I might get ballsy and tell him again the car needs to be totaled, or he can find someone else to do it. We'll see what transpires.
