if the frame isn't bent, you should be ok after they fix up the front end. bumper, fender, fender liner, headlight assy. probably some suspension work in the left front end, that's usually inevitable.
Yeah, Leigh, you should see the repair estimate. I look at my car and think "Front bumper, quarter panel, headlight assembly, whatever that thing is that's covering my tire, and some paint."
They look at it and come up with 3 pages worth of line items and 48 billable hours worth of labor - 13 of which are just for paint.
I'm a twenty-something new mom living in New England. My son D was born in June of 2010. My blog has a LOT of different topics on it - grad school admissions, psychology, books, travel, fashion, cooking, etc., but mommyhood seems to dominate my interests these days.
I haven't decided yet if I want to continue the pseudonymity or just "come out" on this blog since burning bridges to grad school is no longer an issue. We'll see how it goes - I do still work, ya know!

yeah, that's about 3 pages worth of it. they like to list all the tiny little parts of each job to justify racking up all the hours possible.
wow, my car looked much worse after a 5 mph fender bender, mostly because the hood was crumpled.
Also, the paint costs are more or less legit - your car probably has a 3 step paint.
sorry you had an accident - I had mine about a week after I had surgery...good times.
awwww, the highlander!!!! :(:(:(
Holy shitnozzle that sucks.
Oh god what happened to your car? I don't understand it all. I wish that you fix it soon.
