hey guys.
its been a while since my celica has got into a sandwich accident. and my rear tires have worn out prematurealy. so i'm thinking it is frame damage. before the accident the car has a full alighment 10-5 thousand miles ago before the accident.. and the car tracks straight.. i then got the rear axle bearing replaced. (still goes straight on highway with no hands) now after the accident the car still tracked straight but the tires on the back have worn badly. i'm thinking its frame damage.. the hatch doesnt line up as nicely as when i first got it.. but you really need to look at it to notice. i want to get it fixed right the first time with a frame straightening and full alighnment with fresh tires. anyone know how much it cost for the frame shop to fix it? just throw as much information you have at me.... (like cost.. time it takes. what they do.. ect.. any other concerns that i might want to know) any info would be great. |

You may want to get a wheel alignment before doing this. You may very well have allignment issues after the accident even though its tracking straight. Also, cars are repaired all the time after accidents without any major safety issues. I would wait until someone who actually inspected the car told you that it was salvage before believing it.
