You can get as much as it's valued at. Your carrier will pay the actual cash value less your collision deductible. Take a look at NADA online for a general idea.

New tires _might_ add a little value if they are less then 6 months old. Everything else is maintenance and do not add value, only maintain it.

It's good to know that you've paid so much towards maintaining your car. Going through the NADA guide can certainly be a good idea! I guess its trusted by all carriers these days.
