WILL THIS MEAN HIGHER INSURANCE PREMIUMS? Cars.com needs $14,187 to repair its wrecked Chevy Volt. “The difficulty in repairing this Volt, it seems, lay in the vehicle’s additional cooling systems and complex engine control module. According to Ryan Tamblyn, the man in charge of repairing the long-term Volt, the damaged plug-in had no fewer than five heat exchangers that had to replaced as well as an engine control module that needed reprogramming. All told, the Volt underwent nine weeks of extensive automotive surgery before it was ready for action.”
