2002 Eclipse dented frame

[yogiebear]

So I was driving and i hit some black ice and ended up sliding sideways into a telephone pole about 15mph. The pole hit right in the middle of the drivers door putting a huge dent in the door and denting the frame about 5inches in. I was just wonder if anyone knows how hard it is to repair if i took it to a shop. Ive been reading about other people that say that once your frames bent its almost impossible to get it back to original. I can fix up the door and and everything else i just dont have the equipment or knowledge to fix the frame. I just thought that you guys might know more about this frame and also how much you think a body shop would charge just to fix the frame. THANKS

I would think it would cost more to fix then you would get for a totaled car.

Use your insurance man, they probably won't total the car, they have ways of straightening unibodies.
