Dad rear ended his Mazda5 into an SUV

[PandaBear]

2014 Mazda5 Touring with only 50k miles with a roof rack and rear camber kit (to fix factory rear camber that eats tires).

Nobody is hurt, the SUV is fine, his Mazda5's front bumper got pushed in a bit, hood no longer lines up but can still close. The front fenders seems to be pushed "out" a bit like it is toe out. The car drives fine, no alignment issue, paint is still good, head lights are ok it seems.

Based on the photos here, I suspect some crumble zone component like bumper reinforcement bar needs replacement, and maybe some small parts under the fender or bumper need a "pull" back to the right spot. My favorite body shop has closed permanently (not sure if the owner retires or pandemic impact), so now I want to ask others how much would this likely cost, and whether it is just some parts replacements or need to grind / spot weld / hydraulic pull or bent.

Doesnt look too bad nose pushed in a little lifting hood.. and a plastic bumper that should snap back in.

but your photos are abit lacking you have tons of (IMO)too closeup photos and nothing of the whole front of the car. / center

There is some structural damage there. Probably a radiator support and sheet metal. Good luck with the repairs.

i think you will be in the 4 to 5 k range to fix that .

Doesn’t look bad, but be prepared for it to be totaled.

Body shops are backed up, repair costs have skyrocketed, and that requires a couple of panels to be replaced/repaired.

My Buddy’s Audi Q7 looked better than this Mazda - and USAA cut him a check for $27,000 when they totaled it.

So about this van. A lot of parts seems to be back ordered and I can't seem to find this in the junkyard much without a front end damage. I've had car that get pushed in bumper but the left and right fenders weren't "toed out" like this, although by a little bit. If it is just simple parts I am sure I can swap but if pulling is needed then it won't work.

It totally needs a body shop. I have no concern of it being totaled.

This was a friend of mine's 2008 CRV that was wrecked earlier this year and the insurance fixed it. It was actually wrecked 6 months before this and looked exactly the same, so fixed twice.

Its not a common vehicle, but that damage looks easy to self fix if you are going that route vs getting it repaired via insurance.
