I have a Deville that was driven with a broken A-
Arm. It caused problems in the Gear Box (?) And resulted in a bent frame. How much do you estimate the repair? The car also needs the following, ballpark?

Full set of new brakes

Battery

Electrical work. Stereo installed is draining the battery

Replacement of soft top

Body work. Dented on right rear fender

Paint over entire vehicle

Thanks for the help!

Could not speculate on a cost for body repairs, this is mostly a mechanical repair forum. It would depend on the severity of the damage, and probably be straight time labor, meaning the time that someone has into the job, is directly related to the labor price you pay. The battery would be around $150 parts and labor approximately. The brakes are going to depend on what needs to be done, and what parts need replaced. A simple reline, I would guess $200-300 per axle. You may need drums, hardware, master cylinder, etc. I would have a brake inspection and estimate formed from that.
