My Jeep Wrangler was in perfect condition at 3 years old when my roommate wrecked it during a snowstorm and collided both front and back with the cement barricades.

Since the accident my Jeep has been pulling to the right constantly (although the shop said it was aligned perfectly). I've tracked the fuel efficiency for a month now and have lost consistently 2 miles per gallon driving in the city and highway. In addition, the Jeep has lost a lot of power when accelerating to around 30 mph. After 30 mph the acceleration seems closer to normal.

The shop claims that the Jeep is perfectly aligned. They don't have an answer for the loss of power or fuel efficiency but they said the exhaust was damaged and they patched it.

I've explained these things verbatum but the body shop doesn't have an answer. Are there any specific things I should demand they check? Thanks.

That sure sounds like a brake is dragging.

You've got pulling to one direction, although the wheels are straight

and you've lost MPG.

And you feel a loss of power.
