Just be careful that the frame is not bent. If it is, try and convince the insurance company to total the car and get the $$. The reason is that if the frame is bent, the car will never be the same again....EVER!! Trust me in that I have had a car that had its frame straightened after being in a wreck and it was never the same (things started to go wrong left and right). What year was the car? Your avatar shows a 1995? If that is correct, your insurance company will offset the cost of repairs against the market value of the car and if it is more than 50%, they will total the car and you will get the $$....

Just my .02 cents worth on what to expect.
