How do you bend a damaged car frame back?

I’ve noticed my car drifting to the right when driving. I thought my wheels were just misaligned, but my dad took a look at my car and now thinks its frame is bent. How can I bend my car frame back?

Misaligned wheels are a common sign of
car frame damage
. Unfortunately, there is no way for you to bend the frame back yourself. You will need to visit an auto body repair shop to have the technicians assess the damage. They will also provide you with a
quote for the cost of repairs
.
Generally, you should expect to spend around $800 to realign your car and have your frame straightened. Of course, this price will vary based on the shop you choose and the severity of the damage.
Since frame repairs can be expensive, consider checking out the
