I’ve recently gotten into a crash and have some chassis damage and want to know if it is reparable and the cost of it before taking further steps.

Hi,

That is a hard question to answer online. Is it possible to see a few pictures of the damage? Also, please keep in mind that oftentimes, there is hidden damage under the exterior panels that I won't be able to see. Additionally, I won't be able to see frame damage. I don't know how hard you were hit or to what extent.

Upload a few pics so I can see what is going on.

Take care,

joe
