damnnn i feel like bent axles/wheels are the worst accidents. Bumpers and body parts can be replaced easily, but idk if the car would be the same after wheel work like this...

I wouldn't worry about the car...as long as the frame isn't bent and you take it to a quality body shop you will get the car back as good as new.

Person ran a stop sign and hit you in the office parking lot? So unnecessary - sorry OP.

Audi roadside had it towed to the nearest "audi certified" shop. Has anyone had any experience with one? the shop seemed like from their website to handle alot of high end cars so I am trying to be confident it will come out good as new... only 5500 miles on the car

I took my car to one after a hit and run damaged my rear bumper. They did a great job matching the color, but they did leave a lot of buffer swirls in the new paint that I had to have my detailer correct. No big deal because I was taking my car in for detailing the day after I got it back anyways. Got it mostly corrected at that time, and had some final hologramming corrected a month later when I brought it in to have the bumper sealed.
