I'm a foreign student from Denmark. I don't really know how things work here in US. So I figure it might be best if I ask around this forum.

I got an accident last week. Problem is, I haven't purchased an insurance yet. I'm thinking of taking my car to one of the repair shops here in town. What I need to know is, will the title ever appear at the VIN record as "salvage" if there's no insurance company involved?

Since I have no insurance, I have to pay for the damage with my own money. So literally the transaction is only between the repair shop and me. Here in US, if we get our car fixed, and the shop who fix it - are they going to enter this information (car involved in accident / salvage) into the general record.

Thank you so much in advance for your help.
