My son hit concrete seam on freeway and blew the tire on his 2011 CT200h. Shell station has great reviews but RepairPal estimates $700-1,100 (hubs included?).
Does this sound reasonable?

 

I hit a big pothole last month and had to replace the hub on the driver front wheel. Dealership quoted me $768.19 so hope that helps. I know a local shop quoted me $500 to get it done though.

 

Not sure what city/state you live in, but whoever is in charge of that road maintenance might reimburse you for the damages if you file a claim, at least in California you can with Caltrans.

I'm in Carrollton, TX (north Dallas). I already filled a claim form with the city and waiting to see what they say. Even came back one day to take pictures yada yada yada.

 

$1,400 is a lot of money.What are they replacing exactly?
The more detail you know, the more bargaining power you will have. Knowledge =$

1. Hub/Bearing - By "hub", do you mean that the wheel bearing was damaged? An aftermarket bearing is $40-$80 for the part. A master mechanic found on craigslist would charge $100-$200 for labor. Total ~ $140- $280
2. Rim- Was the Rim damaged too? Total ~ $150-$250 on ebay
3. Tire- New Tire ~ $100-$200
4. Rim/Tire Mount and Balance $30

New hub and tire with undamaged Rim- $270-$510
Damaged Rim- $420- $760

 

first off welcome. same thing happened to a good friend except it was a curb. there was a lot of damage to the right front end and went through insurance. the total bill from the shop neared 10k to get the car to align and drive straight again. i believe everything on the right front end was replaced.

 

yeah, a damaged control arm with bushings (~$125), and tie rod (~$50) plus labor and an alignment ($75-$200) would definitely add to the cost
