Default Need input

I got into an accident about 2 weeks ago. A yellow ford was gunnin it around a blind turn. I was in the other lane traviling the other way. When i got a look, he was half way in my lane and i was starin at the headlights of an oncoming ford(fix-or repair daily). Anyways, i had a choice to have a head on collision, or swerve out of the way and hit a grass/dirt hill. I chose the latter for safety reasons. Well i crashed, really minor damage. The radiator support upper and lower got damaged. The fenders, hood, bumper headlights, radiator, condenser, and rims also go damged in the process. Sounds a lot worse than it is. Well I got a quote for $4,600 worth of parts and labor. My question is, IF the frame got swayed a little, and the repair shop says they can fix it, will the car drive the same? Im thinking it wont because once metal is bent, and you bend it back, it'll get weaker. Contemplating whether or not to sell my beloved car and get another one after its repaired, or stick with it. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
