I recently slid on ice while going around a corner and hit a curb. The front passenger tire is now pushed back so that it scrapes along the car when I drive. Other that the scraping the car seems to drive fine. How much would it cost to be fixed and what could be wrong with it so I know before taking it to be fixed. Thank you!

Depending on what type of vehicle it is this is an easy repair. What you did is bent the "control arm". Usually about 150 buck to buy the piece, two hours labor to install. Easy to do if you have the right tools

Without actually seeing the car, and the damage, there is no way to estimate the damage, or cost.
Any number of things could have been bent when you hit the curb.
Take it to a shop, let them get it on a lift, and tell you what is in need of repair.

I would get under the car and take some pictures so we can see, otherwise it's just a guess at best. At least it sounds like a bent control arm and alignment, parts and labor 500.00 and it could be way more.
