Wanted: help/favor/advice from so-cal body shop

[ArisESQ]

I wasn’t sure where to post this, but this seemed like an appropriate place.

My girlfriend was recently in a small accident with her car (a beater) which resulted in a bent frame and radiator support, and other aesthetic damage to the fenders, bumper, and hood. The quotes she’s received from shops in the area are in the thousands, and frankly the car is barely worth that (2006 Scion xA with a lot of miles).

I was planning on doing most of the repair myself, and picked up a replacement hood, fender, bumper, and bumper reinforcement. Unfortunately the radiator support is tack welded to the frame (which is bent).

Would anybody know a shop I can take the car to have the frame straightened and replace the rad support? I just need a quick and dirty (but safe) job so I can get the car back together and on the road again. I'm in Pasadena but can drive the car wherever it needs to go.

I appreciate any help or feedback you guys may have.

Is it too late to replace girl friends?
