Bent frame

Ok. I have a bent frame on the right side of the car. I just ordered a new one from Majestic. #23 is the bent part.
The radiator support is kinda screwed up too, but I can do that without a problem.
How much should I be expecting to pay for the shop to take the bent frame out and welding the new one in?
Thx guys.

your probably looking at a grand or more... the frames bent, and the car will need to be put up on their frame rack to pull the car straight again...


Fixing a bent frame rail isnt as easy as simply welding in the new piece. the car has to be straightend first then the new part can be put on. have fun with that!

call upa few and ask for an estimate, if one is high just say well this one can do it for that$$$$. and see. your paying for the time and labor if you got the part. will take time to be perfect and normal again.

Catch is, they get the part from the dealership MUCH cheeper then you can. so wether or not you buy it from the dealership and bring it, or allwo the shop to buy it, the part is going to cost you just about the same.
