Default Repair costs and estimates for parts?

So I at the moment I need to take care of the following: which is pretty urgent. Can anyone give me estimates on the prices? I'm tight on a budget :/

1. Check what's wrong with my rear driver-side wheel. It's alignment is off, and there is something bent from an accident. Not sure what, I'll post pics soon once it stops raining.

2. Re-alignment on the car, the steering wheel isn't straight due to the bent wheel.

3. Get new tires. I've been slipping in this rainy season, not good, especially with the ****ed up alignment and shitty tires... I'm looking for cheap, but decent quality tires, something that will get me around. I'm open to suggestions, was thinking Falken ZE's, but they are probably pretty pricey...

I agree, You should take it somewhere to get checked out. The problem is, anyone here can give you an estimate but without having the car in front of them, there's no way to tell exactly what's wrong. You'll more than likely get a different estimate from a shop than whatever anyone here can tell you.

I had a bunch of friends examine the car the day of the accident, and there was some bar that was bent. That in turn, ****ed up my alignment. I'll check again to see what it was

Check at one of your local alignment shops, they can tell you what is wrong and probably how much to fix it, however if your on a budget, maybe hit up your local bone yards and find and replace the bent part yourself and then all you need is the wheel alignment, unfortunately it looks like the closest PicknPull to you is in Fresno, but they do have a few Civics... http://www.picknpull.com/check_inven...ic&Distance=20 may be worth the drive if you need other things, maybe make a list of what you need and maybe friends need so you can offset the cost of the drive, [if you can't find anything in your area], kind of surprise there is no PicknPull in Los Angeles. 94
