Crashing and Crushing cars might be one of the hardest to do in my opinion. It involves alot of problems.

One thing you can try is making the car object as a cloth object, which you can use to simulate metal.

Not sure on tutorials, but you can give it a shot with cloth.

Hi !! just a question... its gonna be for animation or still ? cuz i made a still imagem but i modeled the full scene. I will try to post it here.

If it's animation, you can do it using blend shapes, but that means lot of extra modeling. I'm currently working on a similar scene with a few friends for a student film. Car should go trough an explosion so it's good thing that I'm doing only the main model, while my friends will do the blend shapes and animation (they're animators).
You can do the pieces flying around by using particles, but again, that means you'll have to write a few expressions.

Google for tutorials on blend shapes in maya. You'll probably find lots of them for characters and that should give you an idea how to setup and use them. The downside with working with blend shapes is that it's not automated - you'll have to animate it manually. I think they do it for games the same way.
