steering wheel locked after accident
I have a 2020 camaro ss and I got into an accident and airbags deployed, my steering wheel is locked. I need the steering wheel unlocked any advice on what I could do to unlock before having it towed to a mechanic?

Are you able to start the car or at least put it into accessory mode?
And damage to steering linkage causing binding?

Outside of broken or binding steering components I would think you would be able to muscle it to turn in accessory mode

Yes it turns a little, however I think my next step will be to ask on the Texas sub forum for any good body shops. Thank You for helping me out

Why didn't the insurance just have it towed to the dealer? |

That’s what I wondered when I first read this post. Since the airbags deployed it probably is a total anyway.
