Getting the Most Out of Total Losses

You may be surprised to see the items that some shops collect on Total Losses.

Years ago, when we started NABR, many shops we spoke with preferred not to get total losses in their shop. They told us they didn't make much money on them.  A lot has changed since then, as you'll see in the list below.
