To you point of totaling a car being a financial decision on the insurance company is correct. So when a totaled car get repaired they had to cut corners somewhere to reduce the repair cost. Not all the time but there is that chance.
i don't like the term 'cut corners.' it implies the repair is less than satisfactory. it's easy to undercut the rates bodyshops charge insurance repairs if one doesn't have the overhead of an official business. that doesn't mean the repair has to be any lesser quality.
