My son accidentally drove onto a curb. The car has driven fine after the small accident, and there is no body damage. However, the steering wheel is now tilted to the right. When I drive the vehicle, the car stays straight, and the car does not pull to the left or right. I was just wondering how serious is the damage, and how much will it cost to repair

If the steering wheel is not straight anymore then the alignment has been thrown off so most likely something got bent from the curb. You will need to bring it somewhere to have the alignment and front end checked. It could be something cheap or could be really expensive I have seen it go both way's. It may seem like it was no big deal just going over the curb but that can cause a lot of damage depending on what part of the was hit. That's the best advice I can give you.
