It started when me and my bro where driving down hill in the rain\/snow and wrecked. I lost control, slid into a ditch and hit a tree on the passenger side. We are both OK. But we had to get someone to pull us out. After we got out I drove 5 blocks to his house where we took off the passenger tire and replaced it with the spare. So far the damage I know is the passenger wheel is destroyed and drivers is popped. The fender it&#8217;s very dented, the mold and trim prob, the axle might be messed up but the breaks are making noise.<\/p>\n<p>The bumper, the head light cover, the mirror, a little bit of the hood, and the door all on the left are damaged. Also I was told something snapped behind the wheel. I think it&#8217;s the lower control arm(maybe)or this part.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-37799\" src=\"\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rear-control-arm-2009-dodge-avenger-300x286.jpg\" alt=\"Wrecked Rear Control Arm 2009 Dodge Avenger\" width=\"300\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rear-control-arm-2009-dodge-avenger-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rear-control-arm-2009-dodge-avenger-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rear-control-arm-2009-dodge-avenger.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nThere might be a bit more and somethings might not be as bad. In conclusion What ever info you can give me to now how much it will cost or what I should do with it. Thanks again and contact me as soon as u can.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>RESPONSE<\/p>\n<h3>Wrecked My Car, What Now?<\/h3>\n<p>Have a body shop give you an estimate after looking the car over. The body shop can determine if the car needs to be put on a frame rack. They will also give you an itemized <a href=\"\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/free-auto-repair-estimates-online.html\">repair estimate<\/a> that will show you the parts and labor costs. If you have full coverage insurance they may decide it is better to total the car instead of repairing it. Once a car is wrecked it is a good idea to have a hands on mechanic give it a good look. Most insurance companies today require an inspection after a car has been wrecked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So first off thank you.
