    Make sure to hold the hood firmly while your helper is removing the final two
    bolts. When it comes to meaning of property damage in the
    eyes of the insurance companies it is defined as damage to a vehicle whether it be
    a car, truck, motorcycle or SUV. Vehicle once declared salvage can be repaired and used if vital parts of the vehicle have
    not been damaged by the accident.
