Hi All,

I'm new here so please tell me if I'm not posting this in the right spot. Anyway, I wrecked my car. It's a 2012 Elantra GLS. There was an oncoming car swerving all over the road and to avoid him hitting me, I swerved out of the way and hit a median type thing. My car is undrivable and was leaking something afterwards. Air bags didn't go off, I wasn't hurt, but I was going probably 20 mph.
I don't know anything about car parts but from what you can see, does anyone have an idea of how long this will take to fix and exactly what is damaged?

There's a part right behind the bumper that's dented. It's like a big black metal piece. No clue what that is but hopefully you can tell by the pics

 

Call your insurance agent. They will help you with all that.

 

This is what a totalled one looks like. 40m/h into the side of an Suv also traveling at roughly the same speed coming from the right (the old lady ran the red at 1:30am)

Your car needs a few grand of repairs, that is only if there is no 'structual' damage to the frame and no major mechanical components.
