So I was involved in my first (and hopefully last) accident today while taking a left turn off the highway ramp onto a road. My coupe fishtailed and the backend slid out hit the curb and the left wheel was broken right off the axle.

I live in Toronto, ON but I was hoping you guys can give me any idea at all at what I'm looking at to get this fixed. The rest of the car is perfectly fine and has no damage. I had a look at the underside as well and that seemed fine too.

Additionally, if any of you are Toronto based G35 drivers, can you recommend a good body shop where I can get this fixed? Thanks a ton for your help guys.

 

Your very lucky that nothing more happent to the car or yourself, stay safe out there

 

Thanks Danches787 - I'm glad I'm safe and didn't hit anyone else...

 

Ouch. At least no one didn't get hurt. Hopefully its repairable!

 

Thanks EndlessWaltz - Anybody have an idea how much this might be in $$$ to repair?

 

Did you have the VDC off?

 

and what kind of tires where u running?

 

Falken Ziex 912's and the VDC...well let's just say the details of that are rather hazy...

 

Excuse me for being blunt but I've been a member and owner of an 06 6mt for a few years and can't, for the life of me, figure out how the hell all of these people are doing this to their cars! I know you had to have been driving at some excessive speed or giving it excessive throttle because there is no way in hell you are going to break the rear end loose otherwise! STOP DRIVING YOUR CARS LIKE ASSH*LES!

But to answer your question, looks like you are going to have to replace the rear control arm, knuckle, sway bar?, wheel. I've also seen sideway impacts on a rear axle damage the differential. Sucks but you're right, thank god you didn't hit anyone else

 

How did you manage to do all that and not give it a single scratch? Weird..

 

why jump to conclusions? he never said the exact cause, what if someone cut him off or did something to surprise him? what if it was in less than ideal conditions? what if he was racing somewhere because of a family emergency? the possibilities are endless...

im not saying your idea is wrong by any means but way to take such a harsh stance without even knowing what really led up to it

 

Torrential down pours in the Toronto area last night. I'm not surprised, I could barely see two feet infront of me with all that rain. The thunder and lightening were no joke either.

As for getting the car fixed, I would recommend automacs in oakville. Great place, they service mercedes dealers. Expensive, but the job is done properly.

 

Thanks Wise-1. As for Cloud 35, I've got an exam today, so I was trying to hurry back home through the rain.

I called around a couple of shops and they think the repair will range anywhere from $1250 -$2500.

 

dam that sucks bro...glad to see your alright tho
