Q: I was rear ended at a stop light and it cracked my subframe. Is it worth fixing and what do u think it might cost?
I was reared ended at a stop light and it cracked the subframe. I have read that people have had problems with them rusting and cracking. Could the accident cause my subframe to crack? It is a huge crack. The car is not even drivàble at this point.

Hi there. This question is very difficult for us to answer accurately, as we’re not there to inspect your Cavalier personally. However, this is a job that should be completed by your insurance company or a local body repair facility. I think they would be better qualified to help you in this case.
