Sorry to hear about the accident. I would not think an impact like that could tweak your frame so hopefully the steering/driving issues are only alignment. When someone stops suddenly in front of me, I always look into the rearview mirror wondering if I am about to be plowed into.

Well I gave them the car on June 8th. It's now July 13th and still no GS. I'm still driving an 05 altima and I'm dreadfully tired of it lol. When I went to go down on friday, the new front bumper was on, the new rear quarter was on but primered, the new rear bumper was painted but off car, new tail light was there but off car, roof dents were taken out and sanded down. They said they had to go back to the insurance company and get more money for the roof damage. They say it's going to be done on the 16th at the latest. I've been hearing it's going to be done for the last 3 weeks now, so I'm not holding my breath. Is there any recourse on this? The adjuster refered to my damage as a 15 day job, like 15 days not business days.

sorry about that good thing that you're OK, if it was me once its fixed I would sell it and get another one, after an impact like that there is a high chance of internal damage to the dif or the Trans, you wont notice it right away and if it happens it will be very expensive.

I will take better pictures tomorrow, since obviously these pictures fail lol...
Quarter panel on driver's side is brand new.
New driver's side tail light
New rear bumper.
Repaired front bumper.
New pass side headlight (not damaged in accident but since they had bumper off I had them put my new one I had for later on)
New muffler on driver's side
2 Dents taken out of the roof

Grand total on the invoice was $7,196.82.

The exhaust on the driver's side is def. an inch or so shorter and it's noticeable. But since I picked the car up at closing today I didn't have much of a chance to say anything. It's good to finally have it back. Feels funny after driving a 08 dakota and a 05 altima for the last month and a half.

Car feels the same, steering feels alot tigher (assuming from their alignment). The only issue is they put my spare rim from the trunk on! Which is bent however the wheel is flawless. I know they ment well, because the wheel that is extremely curbed was the one they replaced. The inner part of the wheel has bent written on it, but oh well. I'll just go there on monday and have them put the other wheel back on and realign it.
