yes you can bend it back. if it is not bent to far or crushed in any crush points or zones. but if it tears when you pull it back then the parts should be replaced. frame labor is different all over the country. I don't live in the mid west so cant help you there just ask around about a good body shop and go talk to them.

idk if your school systems offer a technical class or students in grades 11 and 12 like they do where i live but if they do im sure you can go to an autobody class there and have them bend it back they have the machiene here but im not sure if they will or if they do if its free or what it cost

Not to sound like a A$$ or anything unless you know how to recognize crush points it is best left to the body shop. I can tell you we are at 47 HR for frame labor and it is a 2hr setup fee and 47 after that per HR. We also use a electronic measuring system that tells you where everything is at before and after the pulls are made.
