Default replacing my core support will cost me?

If I tow this in and supply the core support, what would I expect to pay? You can se the problem in the lower driver side of vehicle.

Also, I wouldn't need this painted at time of repair as I will be having whole car painted when I'm done with everything.

Thanks!

if i were you i would attempt to do it yourself. drill out the old spot welds and get a blair cutter, which is for spot welds, and rent a welder. you might as well go with a oem core support i have a aftermarket on mine and it fits terrible... and very weak metal... i don't like it. once i get the cash flow i'm heading to the junk yard to cut a oem core support.

I think you missed I was supplying the parts, I get 15% above dealer cost with no tax.

I have a local reputable shop that's going to put it on a chassis puller and straighten it, then replace only the lower cross member, going to be $350 labor and $94 for the oe part.
