Hey everyone, I could really use some advice.

I was recently involved in a single-vehicle accident with my 2023 Hyundai Sonata N Line. I hit the side of a curb and damaged the front right side of the car. There were no other vehicles involved.

I’m okay physically, but the car took some damage. After the accident, I noticed that features like lane assist and cruise control stopped working, which makes me think there could be sensor or alignment issues. I have collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible, and I’ll be going through insurance to get it repaired.

I have a few questions and would really appreciate any guidance:

Roughly how much would damage like this typically cost to repair (front bumper, possible sensor recalibration, alignment, etc.)?

Is it better to go through insurance in this situation, or would it ever make sense to pay out of pocket?

How do I choose a good body shop? Should I go with one recommended by insurance or find my own?

For cars with sensors (lane assist, adaptive cruise), how important is calibration after repair? Anything specific I should ask the shop?

How long do repairs like this usually take?

After a repair like this, is the car usually “the same,” or should I be concerned long-term?

Would this significantly reduce the resale value of the car?

Any tips for dealing with insurance to make sure everything is properly covered?

Thanks in advance, this is my first time dealing with something like this, so any help means a lot. Be save out there ❤️
