Really though you should be fine. Sucks to hear though. GL.

The point of an autobody shop is to make the car new again! As long as you find a reputable shop, the car will be just fine!

I have seen some mangled cars turned into new ones!

+1, it'll be good as new. Don't listen to those guys that say it will never drive the same. Just be thankful it's nt your insurance company that's footing the bill.

I have fixed a lot of wrecked vehicles. You can get them back to driving good but there is usually always some sort of trace that repairs have been made. They may not be obvious on the outside but a good look under the car or in the door jambs will reveal tape lines from the paint work. The carfax is also a killer. I would be sure to push your insurance company to compensate you for that loss of value.

Post up some pics if you don't mind. I would like to see what they are willing to fix.
