Default repairing radiator support in sf bay area

a buddy of mine crashed his hatchback and he needs to get the front end fixed. instead of replacing the whole thing, is there someone who can repair it? I don't have any of the right tools for it. Its not extremely bad but it will need some work. kind of a temporary thing since he is low on funds. or maybe someone can replace it for a good price?

go to a collision body shop depending on the damage will be the price maybe you wont even need to replace your radiator support i payed about $400 for a old car a while back it was a 85 Lincoln continental it had a really strong radiator support so they didn't have to replace everything just the grill

receive an estimate. Post Pictures. There are many variables.
-Radiator Core Support Damage/ partial or entire Replacement
-Apron damage & Frame damage. Does the vehicle require frame work/rack
-Front End replacements (hood,fender(s), bumper cover & lighting)
-Paint matching (OEM honda color code, primered or Custom)
assuming no mechanical issues are present, this could be costly regardless.

be specific..

if the radiator support is not too bad you could take it to a shop and have them do a couple of pulls and straighten it back up.
