I was t-boned by a 16-year-old driver 2.5 months ago, and my car has been in and out of two different shops a total of 4 times. I've had to bring it back for multiple things, including cosmetic issues that were not fixed, and shaking. The car was less than 2 months old when the accident occurred, so I know there should be absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I've been having to fight tooth and nail to get this car fixed properly, but somehow I still can't get anybody to fix my damn steering wheel.
Both shops keep saying "your alignment is good", but when I sit in the damn driver's seat I can look straight at it and tell that the entire steering column is crooked.
My insurance company has put half as much money into repairing it as I did purchasing it brand new in June. At what point do they just write me a check for the value of the vehicle before the accident, because I can't deal with this anymore.
Seemingly everybody that I've had to deal with during this process is either incompetent or trying to screw me.
I'm desperate for help, please give me any advice you have. I'm a 26-year-old guy with his first professional job and I want to get my life started so badly.
Steering Wheel Still Crooked After 4 Shop Visits and 2.5 Months

This isn’t necessarily an alignment issue. You probably have bent suspension components.
A cheap alignment shop won’t catch that.
