Default Just got popped... need body shop in So Cal

Turning left, right in to my rear wheel.

Axel is bent which makes me wonder if there is any frame damage. The car wobbles on the road.

Anyone have a good recommendation for So Cal body shops?

Sorry about the accident. Total bummer. What was the nature of the accident?

Fansonly, I have used Class Auto Center in the past. Give them a call 562 243-4674 Class Auto Center in Long beach and ask for Ted Sanders his shop is a Porsche certified shop.. They are located just off the 405 and Cherry Ave. Ted will make sure that you know every issue with your car.

I was attempting to turn left from a busy street on to a side street. A honda civic and its apt captain was on the side stride, at a stop sign, trying to make a left on to the busy street.

The captain didn't see me and turned in to the busy street (running in to me) as I was attempting my left on to the side street. The impact was almost squarely on my left wheel. The wheel now angles inward about 10 degrees.

Even though I had the right of way and the damage would indicate direct lateral impact to my car, the captain of the honda thinks it was my fault for cutting the turn too closely.

Good times.

If you are in the San Diego area, I would recommend AP auto services. They are located on 2451 State street in San Diego.

Hah, what a tard. If he had a stop sign he's not permitted to enter the roadway unless it's clear. He's gonna lose that argument.

Right??? But I could see a denial of all events coming in the very near future. I got the sense that I wasn't dealing with the sharpest tool in the shed but they knew well enough that denying responsibility would only serve them well in any all future proceedings. Insulting, but I realize while its not the most honorable of strategies, it is a strategy nonetheless.

Sorry to see that. I hope you had it put on a flatbed, as driving it that way would just exacerbate and issues from the impact.

Those types of accidents almost always end up 50/50 with both drivers getting rated. Too bad.

Has CarFax also replaced honor and full disclosure when selling a product (car)?
