EGADS! All that whack, and the car doesn't look all that bad. Glad that you and yours are OK, other than using up a years' worth of adrenaline.

I think the deciding factor will be what damage it was caused the front wheel to point wrong. Frame, crossmember, etc, down in the guts of the car. The other parts are a front clip, and could be done without too much problem.

Get a Volvo dealer to give you a written estimate, if you can get the car to one. I have found Sefeldt Volvo body shop here in Houston very user-friendly, perhaps there is a shop like that near you. A non-Volvo shop will tell you how they fix Hondas and Buicks, which means nothing relevant to a brick.

Good Luck,

Bob
