Default My Jeep got hit by a BMW

So last night my Jeep got rear ended while parked on the side of the road by a suspected Drunk Driver. His car is totaled and my Jeep had to be towed away due to a broken wheel and possible axle or frame damage. So the question is, where in the Los Angeles/South Bay Area is a good place to have my beloved Jeep fixed. Right now she's sitting in a tow yard waiting for the next move. Man this sucks!

Sorry to hear. It looks like the plastic is pretty tough. Hope everything works out for you. Did the rim on the wheel break?

Yep the wheel is broken. He must have hit it pretty hard.

I had an 07 that got totaled when an idiot blew through her red light. The damage didn't look that bad at all but the axle got bent and that was that. I had mine taken to a Jeep dealership with their own body shop. I wanted to make sure that I didn't get after market replacement parts. Once it was decided my Jeep was totaled my insurance paid me off and a brand new Jeep was found that met my specifications. I was able to strip my 07 of all mods I installed and they were transfered to my new Jeep. Very easy and painless.

That sucks, hope it's not damaged too bad. Watch out for the tow yard. When I lived near LA, the tow yard that had my truck striped it.

It was a different situation than yours, my truck was stolen, then found by the cops whose report said "not striped and not wrecked." Hours later at the tow yard it's without tires/wheels, radio, etc. The lug nuts were setting under the axles on the ground, obviously from recent removal. Neither my insurance company nor the cops would do anything -- To them it was just normal and customary corruption which was not worthy of their time.
