Hello I just was involved in a crash and my bumper fell off, left side fender got pulled back, and I dont know what other damage occurred to the car. I would like any recommendations to a good not so pricey mechanic. Thank you. ---

You found this site with the internet, right? Use that same internet to find yourself a body shop (collision repair center) to repair your car. [YP.com](http://YP.com), Google, and other sites have ratings. The higher the better, the more reviews the better. Good Luck ---

You’re going to want to go to a body shop, not a mechanic. Body and paint work is jolly expensive, you get what you pay for. If insurance is involved, then they’ll let you know what their “preferred” body shops are.
