i would have to say that a body shop w/o hookup will give you an estimate anywhere from 800-1200. maybe more depending on how bad that crack in the bumper is.

i recently got into a fender bender in which i required an estimate to fix the dented fender and repaint the front bumper (no repair to the bumper needed) and i was getting quotes from 800-1000 since they have to fix the fender, repaint the fender and bumper and feather the paint. add on tax and labor and it gets pretty expensive. hope that helps a little. hopefully you find decent prices.

Sorry to hear...

1. The bumper can be fix and respray. Looks like an APR bumper not lip but that's just me. Price can range between $350-500.
2. Fender is about $300-400.
3. I'd suggest to get/find a new replacement wheel.
4. Check for frame damage like others have suggested.

PM me if you need a body shop and more details.

1000-1500 for everything imo, yes, you could clean up that wheel for about 150

Thanks for the responses again! I just got back from taking it to get aligned and my VSA light is now on (and the yellow triangle light with a ! in the middle is also on). I took it to a tire place since it was close and they said something is bent and they could not adjust the caster.

Any ideas on what could be bent or why my VSA light is on?

it happen very often, with the left and right wheel spinning at different geometry, the sensor might picks up different wheel speed, the traction control computer thinks that you are sliding/slipping on a wheel.

happens to my friends vw after a fender bender, she was lucky because nothing was bent, the TC light returns to normal after an alignment and reset.

bent control arms are a bitch to spot, trust me on this, it would look normal until you have the piece off side by side.

i would just replace the wheel, it's actually cheaper to do so than trying to fix it

fender, bumper and lip should be a cake for professional shop
