So I was driving through the industrial area in Sharjah the other day, the roads near the warehouses are a total mess with all the trucks and construction, and I had to swerve to avoid a guy who pulled out suddenly from a side street. Ended up mounting a really high kerb on the passenger side at maybe 40 or 50 km/h, and it made this horrible bang that I could feel through the whole car. I thought it was just a flat tire or maybe a bent rim, but after getting it towed to a garage they told me the impact might have shifted something underneath. Now they're talking about sending it to a proper chassis specialist and I'm honestly worried about the costs involved and how long it might take. The car's a 2019 Japanese sedan, nothing too fancy, but I depend on it for getting to work and back every day. Has anyone had their frame straightened around here? I've been looking at some options online and it seems like there are quite a few places claiming they can do it, but it's hard to tell who's actually legit and who's just going to make things worse. I found a page that explains what's involved in the process and what to expect, you can check out https://800sayara.com/car-chassis-repair/ if you want to get a sense of what a proper job looks like, because honestly I had no idea about alignment measuring and all that until I started reading about it. I'm just hoping it's not going to be a write-off situation because I really can't afford to replace the car right now.
