Default Body Shop in the 626

So I have a 00 civic hatch with a very noticeable gap between my hood and front grill. I believe the subframe is bent down from the time someone backed up into my car. To fix this, I been told I would need to bend the frame back up to the correct spot. All the local shops around my area ( Azusa) charges an arm and a leg, so I was hoping someone on here can recommend a body shop or even a garage to help me get this fixed . Feel free to pm me or post any recommendation. I'll post a pic of the gap tomorrow morning so you guys can get an idea of what I'm talking about.

why don't you try moving the hood lock assembly down a bit, that where the hood latches down. it looks like the gap between the left side of the hood and fender is a little bit off, so maybe with the adjustment of the lock, and can fix both

number 5 incase you might not know which one, but just loosen up the bolts and move it down to where the gap starts to get close
