I am a body shop, I've made way more off of storage and tear down than I would have on the repairs. I've been paid 3500 on cars I've never touched because the insurance companies adjuster insisted it wasn't totaled.

No wonder all the bodyshop owners around here are rich. I don't know about Philly but collision repair business is quite lucrative in Los Angeles. With the low wage undocumented bodymen and the network of lawyers-bodyshops-chiropractors etc.
