I hit a curb, really bad. Screwed up the front passenger side weel and fender really bad. Busted the control arm, not sure about if there's been any damage to the steering rack or the transaxel (automatic). The focuse is a '05 four door with the 2L engine.

Any help on what I should look out for price wise? Worst case ideas? What other parts would be affected? I don't want to end up getting cheated by the collision center I took my focus to.

Thanks for any help!

My brother did the same thing to my '02 Jetta. The bill came out to around $1K.

Huh... I got a quote from the guy working there. He said it'd cost 4 and a half K to repair.

The price could depend on a hell of a lot of things...... there are so many entities involved with this you can't go and compare this accident to another, they are all different (slightly). Best thing you can do is go and get a bunch of estimates and learn from your mistakes.

Considering the car is front wheel drive, you hit a front wheel, your price will go though the roof. It's not going to be cheap......
