    Hi Guys,
    Last night my wife get into an accident while driving honda civic past the intersection of san mateo and batasan road. The front right fender was hit by the rear tire of a garbage truck. The fender was dented all the way up. Good thing is that the other adjacent panels was not affected although the front bumper screws from the fender side also gave in. The front wheel was hit also as evidenced by tire wiggling as I drove it on straight pave road and inbalanced steering weight on left and right steer. The mags seemed to have been disoriented slightly too. The car has comprehensive insurance and as usual the garbage truck driver has nothing to give.

    Please help on the following:
    1) Car repair shop - Mas ok ba dalhin ko na lang sa casa or sa reputable body works accredited by insurance. Any suggestion beside alex and alen.
    2) The dented fender would require panel sheet straightening and masilya job. Should I go for fender replacement instead? Would the insurance allow me to replace the fender although it is still repairable?
    3) On wheel, what parts do you think beside the mags could have been damage should the tire hit by the truck?

    Get a surplus fender na lang if possible, since the screw mounts are already ripped of.
