Basically, I kind of got in a crash with my escort by fender benderinga work van at about 40 mph, and about a week afterwards my alternator belt got burned out and the car was unable to run. I looked at the engine and it seemed to have shifted over to the right, causeing one of the alternator pullies to be pushed up against my fender, making it unable to put the belt on around that pully. I do not know whta is wrong with my car, but I took it to a collision repair shop and they told me it was a $1000 dollar repair. Can anyone help as to explain what there is wrong with my vehicle and if this problem is selg fixable? thanks a lot.

Best bet is to part it out

Looks like you bent the subframe on your car. The collision shop has specialized equipment to straighten frames. It will be next to impossible to do it yourself and still be able to align the car properly.

Sounds like you bent your car pretty bad. But if they say they can fix it for only $1000 you are lucky
