If not, I’m surprised the insurance company won’t just total the car… You could get another one for $11k I think…
I’d probably ditch the car for $11k.
If you do take it to get it repaired, take it to either Phil Thearles Autowerk or West Coast Specialties..
Will it creek?… It will be fine if you take it to a reputable shop….I had frame subframe damage on one of my audis about 9-10 years ago. Long story short, I ran off course was some debris which I ended up running over that ended up crushing driver side subframe and pushing up my floor pan abour 3 inches. Car was in the shop for about 4 months, they had to pull the engine out, and the bill ended up being $8k… That was back in NorCal…. If you go to a reputable repair shop, should be fine….
BTW: on the newer bimmers. The rear quarter panels don’t even use welding anymore. They use bonding material…
