The insurance companies would h, auto insurance companies estimate total cost of auto repairs in one of two ways, one is with an estimate from an auto repair shop or through a claims adjuster.

This is a case of own damage of auto insurance. For example, the driver hits an animal and causes damage to the hood and the engine. The car is smoldering and must be parked on the side of the road. The driver must call his or her auto insurance company to file a claim and to have the car towed to an auto repair shop where an estimate will be performed.

If the damage is serve they will ask their adjustor to adjuster to the scene. The claims adjuster will then proceed to verify the loss after the driver calls the auto insurance company and files an insurance claim.

The role of the claims adjuster is to inspect the car for damage and estimate the cost for repair. Claims adjusters are highly trained to spot damage on all parts of the car, even underneath.
After inspecting the car, the claims adjuster determines the initial estimate based on parts and labor. The auto insurance company then takes this estimate and executes an automated claims process using proprietary auto insurance industry.

If the auto insurance believes that the car is a total loss due to damage incurred it performs an evaluation of the car to estimate the actual cash value (ACV). If the cost to repair the car falls between 51 to 80 percent of the car’s ACV, the auto insurance company determines that the the car is a total loss.

Once the auto insurance declares the car a total loss, two choices are presented to the driver: receive the actual cash value of the car from the auto insurance company toward the purchase of a new car; or keep the damaged car (if drivable) and pay for auto repairs out of pocket.
In conclusion, an auto insurance company declares a car a total loss when it determines that the cost to repair the car exceeds its actual cash value. While the owner can keep the car (if drivable) with the current auto insurance, the auto insurance company will not pay for repairs.
