Hey guys?

hope all r fine. just a quick Question.

i had a small mishap last thursday, where i hit my right front wheel on the kerb and the alloys broke. yest i went to an alignment shop and they said the camber is to be corrected.

can anyone guide me to place where i can get (any / all) damages checked that might have been caused by the accident to my suspension / any other major issues to be cautious abt

thanks

LOL @ 'stealership', but agree with Tamu. If cost is a constraint, there's always Emarat FastTrack. Don't know if Fix Plus re-opened, as I used to use their services.

fast track do charge like stealership as well :D :D :D

its better to bring it to agency and wait, one time spending and have peace of mind especially on this kind of work.

I had a similar accident when I braked too late, skid, and hit the roundabout, and bent my axle...but not my alloys. But thanks for the info guys, Fasttrack charges are indeed similar to the agencies.

AED 550 is not a bad price at all, I would have thought it would be more....
From the sound of your accident your looking at the basic parts being broken/bent/damaged:

- axle
- upper/lower control arm

and I forgot the rest, lol...go scarpyard hunting and find some 2nd hand parts, lol. Don't buy new unless you really have to...
