- Lower still. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:28 13
  - $31.25 -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 10:28 12
    - $80. Wheel alignment should do the job. Double that if the bushings need to be replaced. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:31 11
      - that's rather unbelievable -- nm - JenBro Feb 2, 10:39 6
        
        Best mechanics in town. If you go to the dealership, they'll take you for every penny you're worth. I could file a claim... - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:41 5
        
        but ... "frame damage" ... and it's just a wheel bearing? oh heck - I know nothing about cars anyway - as long as you're safe :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 2, 11:10
        
        I think it varies from one dealership to another. We take ours to the dealer and i find them pretty honest and reasonable prices. - Don Homer Feb 2, 10:48 1
        
        I certainly wouldn't paint with a wide brush. Just saying that our dealership bleeds you dry. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:51
        
        I think my wife finally learned to avoid the dealership... - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 10:47 1
        
        To be fair, they had to send away to Seattle for the manufacturer approved gloves. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:49
      - Sweet! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 10:33
      - that's cool. I envisioned something more serious and time-consuming. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 10:32 2
        
        That's what kept me up last night. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:38
        
        Me too. Nice that it wasn't. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 10:33
how'd that happen? ($1200?) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 10:26 1
- Got hit in the right-rear tire turning onto a side street yesterday. Cosmetically, almost invisible. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:27
$2200 -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 10:26 1
- I should add that I was incredibly relieved by the estimate. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:27
