   An insurance company will in general utilize various tools to determine the value of a car to see if it will be determined to be a total loss.  In many cases, Kelly Blue Book or NADA seem to be the most common authoritative resources that are used to determine a car's value.  One other general rule of thumb is that if the cost to repair reaches 70% of that book value, it is likely to be totalled.
