I got into a little accident in my GLK last night, and I messed it up pretty badly...

Some assface cut me off, and I swerved to avoid hitting him, and I ended up hitting the curb pretty hard, at like a good 25-30mph... I'm glad I didn't hit anyone or anything else though, 'cause it could've ended up being a lot worse.

From what I see (I'm no mechanic or specialist), the steering is messed up and I'm pretty sure my control arms were raped, seeing as each front wheel points in a different direction. I'm worried that I might have damaged right front axle shaft as well, but I'm not sure. Oh, and on top of it, I hit the curb in the red lane, so now I have red curb rash all over my 2 right tires/wheels.

Anyways, point of the story: I'm looking for a shop in the LA area that works well with Mercedes and that wouldn't cost me my soul, so any help regarding a good shop would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot guys.
