took my car to the shop...

I spun around and went into a ditch front first last winter. Didnt know a lot about cars and didnt really check out the damage. everything seemed fine but an entire year later it starts making a really loud noise like my tires are not aligned. i take it in and all these things are f**ked up.

- lower control arms in real bad shape
- every bushing imaginable in front are ripped
- bearing (drivers side wheel) is broken and could seize at anytime

any way comes to around 700 dollars i need to put in a car i am selling by april, that could have went towards my V8

Get a second estimate. Sounds like you are getting screwed.

i slipped into a traffic light pole last winter.
idler arm was bent 120$
brake line punctured
headlight bar smashed 50$
front end alignment 70$
bent hood (used red 40$)
cracked facia (used silver 20$)
berlinetta specific signal light 45$ used with a stone chip
