Default bodyshops have ultra expensive frame machines for a reason

if they could accurately line up frames by eye, they would. you've already made a huge mistake by not having comp insurance. don't make another mistake by getting the car fixed paintwise to only find that your car drives sideways like a crab.

1st pic shows how there was frame damage. Driver side frame tube went up alomst 1ft! compare to passengerside.

2nd and 3rd pic shows that after they fixed the frame. On 3rd pic you see bar on the bottom of the car and some mirrors right?
They used laser guide measurement to measure any
frame damage and correct them.
But they totalled my car after they found out there was engine damage too
