Crashed my car and want to know how bad it is

I crashed my car in the snow and hit a cement block, there’s pretty significant damage and I’m just worried my frame was damaged. Please be honest, I’m an 18 year old girl and need advice. I’ll post some pictures. If a mechanic could possibly tell me what’s wrong and an approximate price to fix it.

Hi javanna, to the forums!

Unfortunately, no one can tell the extent of the damage without putting hands and eyes on the vehicle in person, and on a lift.

Find a local body shop that will give a free estimate. There may also be damage to the suspension.

Welcome- Bummer, doesn't look good, but good advice above. Hopefully you are ok from that impact..

PS: the HHR has a sub-frame (think uni-body) .

Subframe, AC condenser, radiator, possibly the oil pan is damaged then there’s the passenger side lower control arm, tie rods, and or steering rack, front bumper might be reusable.

x2 It's true,

I'll add more tar:
radiator fan with a high probability, but the final answer after diagnosis;
front bumper mounting brackets;
Front bumper reinforcement;
headlamp housing on the passenger side.

What can be damaged with a 50/50 probability:
Right headlight shelf (headlight bracket? I don't know how in English);
Air conditioner metal pipes;
metal transmission pipes (pipes cooling) as a result of the displacement of the radiator;
The front suspension on the right is a suspension arm, a tie rod, as Oldblue already wrote;

The first thing to pay close attention to is the front right side member. The degree of its damage will determine the cost and laboriousness of the repair. We need to pray that it will survive, I hope that the blow did not penetrate deeply and did not reach the right side member.

Pay attention to the wheel - it could bend from the impact. Spinning on the tire changer will reveal the truth.
