Situation: lost control in yesterday's New England nor'easter and my front right tire hit a curb pretty hard. Wheels are completely out of alignment, cannot steer normally at all. Damage to tire sidewall and rim as well.
Long story short: I got roadside assistance from AAA and had it brought a local repair shop. Waiting to get estimate before deciding what to do next. My insurance does not cover car rental.
However, I'm re-considering another option, which is to have the car towed to LR dealership. They would provide free towing and also a loaner. I am guessing however that the repair estimate from LR would be much higher than the local repair shop, negating any benefits I may realize from the free towing and loaner.
Anybody have any thoughts/advice? I'm waiting to hear back from the repair shop within 24 hrs and need to figure out my next step.
thanks, JT
