Hi Guys,

Need some advice. A truck backed up into my front bumper this evening and has bent my front frame rail support where the bumper mounts to. I know for sure that my bumper needs to be replaced, as shown in the pictures. However, can a body shop frame rail machine bend the frame rail support or should I just ask the body shop to get a new one? I need to get this fixed ASAP, I'm afraid that my hood will unlatch on the freeway and smash into my window. This can lead to bigger consequences of course.

A. Can the front frame rail support be bent back?
B. What shop should I go to in the South Bay? (I was thinking Sams Auto Land because they do a bunch of Formula D cars)

This is what it looked like hours earlier...passed my smog with flying colors.



This is the frame rail support part



This is what happened after the guy in the truck was an idiot.





So, the guys who hit my truck were extremely intelligent. They wanted to drive the truck back out, which would have caused more damage. I had to ask them to jack the truck up to be able to back my car out.

f@#king hate idiots that drive around with the tow hitch. I guess the same can be said about tow hooks.

FYI, damages from my first estimate from Sams Auto Land is $2500. This guys tow hitch has cost him a lot of money. The amount could increase if my headlights are broken.

On the plus side, if it goes this way, you might be able to get new parts.
