I'm not saying it's covered under warranty. I just wanna know if you have to have a dealership fix it to maintain the warranty after it's repaired.
the story is this....stupidity got the best of me, slid sideways into a curb, and hit hard enough that the car was easily at a 45 degree angle to the ground. stupid, stupid, stupid |

If the dealer replaces stock parts with replacement OEM parts...they should still be covered under warranty. it may be more expensive than having a small shop do it...but they can come back to you and say "the shop installed them wrong, warranty denied!" Get a quote from a few places if you can...compare... You really shouldn't be sliding around curbs..... |

Ouch. That's not going to be cheap.
I would call that an insurance claim. Comprehensive or collision would cover that I would think if the bill gets to high. Keep us posted. |

I honestly don't understand how I hit with so much force....I started from a stop about 30 feet infront of the stop sign and as I was coming around the corner hit a little loose gravel on the pavement and the rearend started coming around really fast...tried my best to correct it but I'm far from a good exibition driver. and the side that hit the curb was in the air, like it ramped off of it or something....after closer inspection I cracked the brand new curb too. |
