oil pan damage

I just had a flat tire in the middle of 34th street in manhattan. I think I also damaged my oil pan, I saw oil was leaking. how much does it cost to get fixed in local acura dealer?

Best to get it up on a lift to see what was damaged to make certain it was the pan. I guess if the road was raised in a particular area it could get to the pan.
Pan is around $100, and replacement:
Remove the splash shield
Remove undercover
Remove exhaust pipe
Remove torque converter cover and 2 bolts securing the trans
Remove pan
Maybe overly optimistist, but let's say 2-3 hours, and cost is dependent on hourly rate @ $125=$250-$375
Total $350-$500.

It's a treat just riding in a bus or cab through Manhattan, let alone a personal vehicle. It's as if you're on a roller coaster.

oil pan is $92 shipped from autopartswarehouse.com with a new coupon, which would make it like 80 bucks. The coupon code is SHOPFORLESS at checkout, i would know because i just bought one and get coupons e-mailed to me everyday. got to an independently owned shop and it will cost around 120 bucks to change.
