Question
I was in a accident and the truck was hit on the passenger front side by the tire, the insurance adjuster saying my frame could be bent, is that something that can be fixed how much does it cost?

Answer
Frames are easily repaired these days and without seeing the vehicle or the damage measurements, I can only guess the cost. Most shops charge around 55 to 60 dollars an hour for frame repair, so figure an hour setup, an hour tear down and usually at least two for repair, probably four to six.
