Default How much would repairs cost? airbags, seatbelt and tire?

Hey, I have a 08 honda civic. I hit some slick road and jumped a curb wrecking my front tire and deploying the 2 driver's side airbags as well as locking my seat belt. I really don't know crap about cars and don't want to get ripped off or pay for things that don't need repair. any help at all, specifically on estimated cost would be helpful.thanks .

well the things you have listed are:
replace front wheel
replace tire
replace air bags

those items shouldnt be hard to figure out a price for them then see what people charge u in labor.

but an impact that is strong enough to brake the wheel might have also bent or broke other suspension parts on that wheel setup. in addition to that you will defitnatly need an alignment when its all done so you can add that to the list.

if you want to save money buy the wheel yourself, buy a used tire(many tire shops sell used tires that have plenty of life left for under 40 bucks) and get it mounted. then change it yourself... you should know how to take off a wheel in case of an emergency. the only one i cant really help u with is the airbags...

once its driveable drive it and see if it drives straight if it doesnt take it to get an alignment but if there is bent suspension parts they will tell you.

if your in LA county PM me I can help you out with it.

Over a thousand dollars. Go through Insurance.
You need air bags, depending on how the dash is on that car possibly a dash as well.
Both front impact sensors and air bag module. Also the seat belt. That's just for the air bag.
Like stated above. If your tire popped and the rim bent, you have more damage.
Now did you deploy a curtain air bag and a drivers bag or did you do a passenger air bag as well.
Seing as you hopped a curb and a civic being so low, I would bet you have subframe damage as well and that is why you popped the bags. You might also have frame damage.
Just call your insurance. You don't want to start fixing stuff only to find out that you have more wrong with it than you can handle.

Post up some pics of the car.

One other thing as well you might need. When air bags go off they burn the wires out as well so a new clock spring is in order and if it is a passenger air bag, a harness for that side might be needed as well.
The parts will just keep adding up and it would be a million times easier to just let a body shop handle that.
Do not take it to a mechanic.
