Not a BMW, But Need Help Please

Since this is the repair section, I was wondering if you guys can help me.

I got into a little accident in my GLK last night, and I fucked it up pretty badly...

Some fucktard cut me off, and I swerved to avoid hitting him, and I ended up hitting the curb pretty hard, at like a good 25-30mph... I'm glad I didn't hit anyone or anything else though, 'cause it could've ended up being a lot worse.

From what I see (I'm no mechanic or specialist), the steering is messed up and I'm pretty sure my control arms were raped, seeing as each front wheel points in a different direction. I'm worried that I might have damaged right front axle shaft as well, but I'm not sure. Oh, and on top of it, I hit the curb in the red lane, so now I have red curb rash all over my 2 right tires/wheels.

Anyways, point of the story: I'm looking for a shop in the LA area that works well with Mercedes and that wouldn't cost me my soul, so any help regarding a good shop would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks a lot guys.



I don't know if you can tell from the shitty cell phone picture, but the passenger's side tire is bent in and straight, while the driver's side one is turned normally with the steering wheel.

I had the same situation in my 01 325ci. Bill ended up running $10.5K. It was the rear wheel in my case though.
