I bet 90%+ of people out there never say a word and just go forward with the repair.
If I were to threaten with a lawyer but not get any... That'll make me look very pathetic.. And lawyers are expensive.

They keep insisting is repairable because it does not hit 75%..

The body shop I used is a certified Toyota body shop. (Dealer)
^ They will use New OEM Toyota Factory parts
The shop told me they will get a correct estimate after they check out the part prices and labor.
