So a couple of weeks ago, this s10 rear ends me at a stop sign. The crash leaves my rear frame bent it. I'm wondering should I just trash it or should I get a shop to pull the frame back out to what it use to be? Would it be a good idea because everything else is fine on the car.

Speaking from experience, the pulling alone will cost close to $700.

what does the pulling consist of? I'm guessing the rear subframe, trunk bumper, bumper support, new fenders welded in, tail lights would fix it no?

If the rear subframe is bent, You can replace it for cheap. 4 bolts and it drops down, you just need to find a rear subframe. If the uniframe is bent start looking for another car. I would definitely have a frame shop or suspension shop look at it. Chances are something is bent being frame or suspension parts. Nick

I'm hoping it's just the rear subframe. I drove it and it feels normal. It had a little ripple effect to the left rear quarter panel but thats easily fixable. $700 does not sound too bad from what I've been hearing.
