Long story short I wrecked my truck and in the process the lower control arm got ripped from the bolt hole. Filed a claim, went for repairs and the guy just called saying he was going to install a whole new frame. I don't want a whole new frame cause that's only going to cause problems in the future. Can I argue this with my insurance company or is the repair options entirely up to them?

So instead of a new frame, you would rather have some non-certified welder weld one of the most important things on your car?

An entire frame replacement on an 8 year old vehicle and they aren't totaling it?

Yeah, that's not fishy at all.

I see your profile says GA, but in Louisiana if the repairs equal or surpass 75% of the ACV it totals the car. The repairs (replacing the frame) also seem excessive for repairing where the control arm mounts. Are you sure it's the entire truck frame for that?

In re-reading th thread I assumed it was the bolts that ripped not the actual frame.
