Someone please help
I'm an idiot..i went over a curb on my campus at like 10 mph..and now the cars pullin to the left and i sometimes hear a clickin noise when i turn the car to the left. I went to Sears to try to get the car aligned, and they said that they couldnt cause the rim was bent!?!?!?!?
So i took it to the local acura dealership (Lehigh Valley Acura), and the guy takes one look at the car and says that there is somethin bent in the car, he said that the wheel is slanting inward slightly!?!?!?!?!?!? Apparently they cant do anythin at the dealership so there sendin me to their autobody shop which is somewhere else (is this normal)!?!?!?!?
Please help...I'd like your guys opinions about the situation and what u think is wrong with my car and how much u think the repair is gonna cost. Thanks.

For the most part a dealer is only able to swap out broken parts for new.
If something in the suspension is bent up…YES, it’s going to require a trip to a collision center.
BTW…..Lehigh Valley Acura is MY local dealer.
Are you in Allentown?

I have a local place I can recommend, but he’s not cheap if you’re paying out of pocket.
And..YES, I’m familiar with that nice road behind Wendy’s.

It’s just off of Stefko Blvd. in Bethlehem
708 Jennings St.
610-867-5891
From South Bethlehem (Lehigh area), take Stefko Blvd across the Minsi-Trail Bridge into Bethlehem.
Once across the bridge, make a RIGHT at the light onto MARKET ST.
Take the first LEFT onto Jennings ST.
About a ½ mile on the RIGHT.
Ask for Andy or Dave.
Tell them Shawn with the RED Legend Coupe sent you.
I don’t have that car any more, but luckily haven’t had to visit them since I sold it.
