I had an accident in my 2013 GMC Texas edition with 144k on it and while the damage doesn't appear to be too bad it did pop the drivers side air bag. I have noticed no fluid leaks anywhere but it was pulling to the right a bit when I drove it off. The accident happened on 12-9 and 12-30 is the soonest i can get it in a shop for an estimate. every shop within 50 miles if booked with some as far out a March.

That is very repairable if the frame is not tweaked. Need it to be inspected to get a definitive answer.

If the damage is close to or exceeds the trucks worth they will consider it a total loss.  You might opt to buy it from them and they give you the difference.  If they fix it, the collision place will inspect for frame damage, or structural damage and you wont know till they do a hard inspection.   From experience a lot of the time these damages dont look too bad until you start taking stuff out, clips, and housings are beyond repair, and need replaced.  A lot of the times you dont even know how bad till you get new parts in and realize nothing is bolting or snapping in where it needs be.   My guess since you had an airbag deployment, they will total this truck.  You might get the option if you ask to buy it back from them and could get a  salvage title and take your chances.
