Default HELP: crashed my S2000

Well, long story short, the rear tires gave out the car spun and ended up in the ditch.
Couple of minor cosmetic damages which I am not really concerned about but the front wheel doesn't turn right.

Left the car at Immke Honda Bodyshop. Wasn't able to get ahold of anyone so left my S2000 there. Already reported the incident with my insurance company.

It appears that it is going to be more than cosmetic body work that is needed to be done. I am very concerned that once they fix whatever is damaged on my S2000, it will never be the same.

Please guys, is Immke ok for repiar job of S2000 or should I take it to somewhere else?

Please advise and thanks in advance...

I have never had good experiences with Immke, as far as salespeople go.

I have had a good experience there with their Used car manager, whose name escapes me now.

I have not dealt with their body shop at all. I have always heard good about Roush, and bought my S there. Did my TSB there also. I trust them. Just my .02.

Very sorry about your mishap. These cars can be squirlly, esp in the cold and wet. If you drive her year-round, get some great tires.

Roush, well, wish I've known. but the car is at the Immke Honda dealership for now. Will have to see what they have to say in terms of damage estimate on Monday.

This just so sucks....

yes, was going to put on snow tires on Monday, the worse nightmare came true little too early this year.

Thanks for your concern. I really appreciate it. While I was waiting for police to arrive, another fellow S2000 owner stopped by. He owns that Suzuka blue S2000. Anyways, any advise on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

'Sorry to hear about your setback, Soundzero. I don't have any firsthand knowledge about Immke, but the good news is I've never heard anyone slam the Service department either. They sell a lot of cars there, and they've sold quite a few S2000s in the past as well.

I'm just curious about what happened. Did the rear tires blow, or did you lose traction?

Well I think you're in luck;Immke has the finest body shop in Central Ohio. My wife hit a deer Christmas eve 1999 in her CRV; and Immke had it a week , when it was done it was showroom like condition.
The damn thing did 2800.00 worth of damage but when we got her CRV back we were very pleased;enough so to write them a letter of compliment.

I'm very sorry to hear about the accident;but aleast you're ok and you left the car in very good hands.
