Hi Everybody,

                    I have 2003 sl500 that has been hit at the drive side rear panel all the way to the front panel. A body shop guy told me that it need a supension repair since the wheel is pointing in. My questions are:

1. Will mercedes viod my warranty if the body shop order the part with my vin number?

2. I was told that even if the supension parts was replace the onboard computer will sense it and maybe limit the car from going above curtain speed, Which will then trigger a computer warning light. (The guy told me that the computer controls all four wheels) 

3. I was told that nobody other than mercedes has the mercedes computer to reset or read any of the computer codes since the car is a 2003.

4. Does anyone has a good and decent body shop that can fix all the problems above at a resonable price in california los anageles area?

5. Is there any other repair problems that i might have to due with?

Please help  i do not have insurance when the accident happen.Any advise will help.Thank You
