Bent axle Or frame on 98' civic! please help!

A few days ago I took an icy corner a bit too quick(30KM/h) i slid at a 180 degree angle into the curb hitting and damaging my front and back end, back hit first and hit the hardest following with the front end, i was wondering if anybody has had the same problem as me, it appears to have a bent axle or frame im not sure, i really dont want to get rid of my car as I love it..
If you guys could give me an estimate on the cost and time to fix that would be awesome, thanks forumers

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Go to a GOOD bodyshop that has frame equipment and someone that KNOWS how to operate it, see if they can pull it back into place and correct the alignment.
Maybe even reinforce it.
Yes, it needs pulled back into the correct place before wheel alignment can be checked and corrected.

Ask around at GOOD mechanic shops and see who they say is GOOD with body and frame work.
Around here, there are more than a couple that have the equipment to do the work, but it sure seems like only one shop has a person that is worth a damn (IMO) when it comes to frame pulls.
