YA try this first!! Good idea then my plan if they dont come across
Nothing would bother me more than this thats why i went mad

years ago i hit a cerb and pushed wheel back and slightly bent chassis on car, when i changed all bent parts and put wheel back it was still very bad and axle kept popping out!car was nissan micra at the time it was prob worth eqiv to 800 usd.
Anyway brought it to get chassis pulled yeah? 2 days later i come back to get it and pay, its about 85% ok so i start givin out... get into big row so the cheeky fuk says fuk off and take your car so i leave, the cars not drivin as axle is out.No money changes hand though so i was half lucky.. so i get it home stick shaft back in etc... car drrove perfect and i later sold on..
So when i hear stories similar it makes me

PS in this case revenge was needed as you can see

When i want something fixed i want it done right especially CARS

Well I might disagree here, I work in a body shop and just to set up and measure a car is 150.00 that includes no pulls at all. Every pull is extra money about 75.00 and hour, minimum of 75 bucks, so if your headlight hits the road now (a very good thing) and you can see a difference under the hood then I say be happy with it for now and take it to a better shop later when you can afford it, find a shop with a computerized frame machine, costs more but if you want to keep your car and be safe then just do it. They might have to remove the core support and weld in a new one ( I see about three honda's a week done here) and next time if you can report it to insurance as this repair will cost a lot to fix at a respectable shop as they wont let it leave unless fixed totally right, keep that in mind before you bring it in for repairs. Good luck and I say leave the scumbag shop alone and never go back, at least it only cost you 75 bucks, a shitty shop cost me 8000 dollars when my car got wrecked and it wasnt my fault and It wasnt worth the hassle of fighting them.

Hmm....... I dont know where you people are geting work done, but I cliped a guard rail doin 70, in toyota celica, and it pused the radiator into the block, the entire drivers side front was crushed in, and it cost me 150 to have it looked at (with a shop that had that computer), and 450 to have it completly repaired, I purchased the bumper, fender, and headlight, and they fixed everything so good, that I was able to just bold everything on, and it lined up perfect, I didnt even have to do much adjusting to the headlight.... Grand total of around 700 somthin after tax. Maybe body work is cheaper in WA? And I also did research on a bunch of places, and this was not the cheapest place, it was actualy one of the most popular places in pierce county.
