    Last night I destroyed a curb going 40 miles an hour trying to avoid an accident. The impact caused damage to the panel and it seems like it even pushed back the back door panel slightly. The wheel is broke and the tire is done but my main concern is with the suspension parts. My wheel is visibly rubbing the fender and it's undrivable.

    I have full coverage insurance so I'm not worried about the money I just need recommendations on a body shop that does great work with the body and suspension/frame parts.

    I'm not even sure collision centers work on those issues?

    Will I have to take it to a mechanic and collision center? Thanks ahead of time for the recommendations.

    Sounds totaled, any well established shop should be good if it's body work. All depends on your location.

    Unique Body Shop on Peerless St in 3rd Ward does great body work and a great price, (you keep the extra insurance money), but they don't mess with mechanical.

    I'm not sure Maaco does mechanics. Seems they would considering how big they are.

    Most reputable body shops do suspension and most mechanical work.

    What part of town are you in?

    Can you be a bit more specific?

    Sounds like you will be way over the deductible, so I would just take it to a dealership.

    Dairy Ashford and Briar Forest. I may just go with premier Carstar collision. They have really good reviews and it's not too far from the houes.
