Well on my way home from work I got hit! Guy admitted to be at fault and his insurance is going to cover it so I'm heading to a body shop tomorrow... It sucks that this car will forever be valued lower but I'm just worried about that frame causing problems down the line. Opinions? Condolences? :banghead::banghead: first 0 mile car car, got it 1 year ago when I was 19... 20k miles miles now.. I guess it could be worse
Car accident! Is this frame baaaad? (Subaroo)

Hey bartender!
The door pillar looks like the only structural concern (based only on a picture). A good shop should be able to make it right.

Yeah, should be good. I'd fix it even if a body shop wouldn't. My father-in-law gave me his 89 Jeep Cherokee after a body shop told him the frame was bent. They were wrong! The accident only bent over the bumper mounts and shifted the fender into the driver's door. It is now my snow plow vehicle! Thanks dad! It only cost me $400 to repair and another $800 to add the used snow plow.:blob:
Looks to me like the doors took all the damage.

Appears to be door damage mostly. The B pillar may have a little bend to it but the body shop can pull that without a problem.

Those subarus are pretty tough. That's why my wife drives them. We have owned several over the last 15 years.
