please help .... advice

I was driving home from work (in my camry) when another driver entered an intersection with me still in it to avoid an accident i swirved and mounted the curb. this caused my front left tyre to blow out... I managed to change the tyre fine (woohoo) but now the car slightly shakes (in the steering) and veers to the left. could this mean i need a wheel balance or alignment, or is it likely to be more serious. I am taking it to a mechania on monday to look at and can't afford to be 'ripped off'

Please share your thoughts.... much appreciated

With the vehicle being front wheel drive major damage could have been done if it was a big curb. If it was a small or normal curb prolly just needs tire replaced, good rotate and balance and an alignment.

was normal to smaller curb and i was travelling at 40km/hr (or about 25 mile/hour) thankyou for your input

Probably bent the wheel at the least.
