Do they have pics of the initial damage? As Chuck says, there are lots of bad shops out there. Be sure you know what to look for.

And you better be sure you're going to keep it for a long time. If for some reason (wife pregnant, lost job, etc) your situation changes where you have to sell it, you'll have to take a bath on it as there will be lots of questions why you're selling so soon.

There's the possibility that finding insurance for a "salvage title" vehicle could be difficult as the insurance company would have a difficult time determining a future correct repair if there was hidden damage pre-existing.

I insured all of the salvaged cars through State Farm. They treated them as if they were unbranded in every respect. Three of the cars were totaled in traffic accidents over the years and State Farm paid them off as if they were clean titles.
