Crashed my car

I crashed my car the last thursday on a blind turn, I was told there was no engine damage. I hit the left headlight part of the car, it went in about 1 foot hood and door are finished and everything connected to it. I was quoted 6975$ CAD that seems like a lot of money consedering that there was no engine damage was I charged over price? The hood, side fender, door, headlight, front axle, brakes, suspension, anti freeze, and some engine mounts. All this is labor and taxes included seems alot too me but I might be wrong thnxs for the advice

ya so um, have fun getting the frame rebent. the car will never be the same.

sorry im sure youre pretty pissed off about what happened, but frankly this type of crap happens. just cant be a stupid driver and push your car past its limits.

edit: just read your sig. i have no sympathy for what happened cause you basically explained how you drive right there . and yes i know its a luda song.

lol, so you just took a blind turn?

you have no respect for
1) human life (you coulda plowed into someone)
2) private property (you coulda plowed into someones car or something)
3) your vehicle (we all know what happend then)


drive like shyt, and thats what you get.

The quote you got sounds pretty realistic I think. But it's pretty sad though, with that kind of damage, the car will never be the same. Good luck with the fix

Hey genius, you take blind turns all the time. For example, ever drive on a two lane country road? Full of "blind turns". A blind turn is any turn that you cannot see around. He didnt say I did 75 around this blind turn in a school zone when I plowed into a light pole trying to avoid a group of middle schoolers crossing the street. If that was the case, l would have no objection to what you stated. Just don't criticize without knowing the details. Simply driving you put yourself at risk for this.

Life's a b|tch isn't it? But that quote sounds about right for all that damage. Labor costs big time. Next time honk when going through a blind turn or flash your lights or something. Well, good luck, i'd just trade it in and get a new car after it's fixed. The car won't be the same anymore.

I obivously don't do 100mph on the highway doubt our cars go that fast takes too long. It was a type of a blind turn where there are hills infront of the turn and a tree covers the sign its little turns till one 90 degree turn at the end of the road. I wasn't speeding excessively maybe 5-10 km over the speed limit. BTW there is no damage to the front frame hit the left side if the car not dead on.
