Auto body repair & detailing: bent frame, buick ranier, auto body shop


Question
I bought a 2007 Buick Ranier new in May 2007.  The first of December a car hit me in the front left and bent in the wheel.  The auto body shop found out that the frame was bent and is replacing the whole frame.  My question is will we ever be happy with the car again?  Can it be replaced sucessfully?  It has been in the shop since Dec 10 and the estimated date we will get it back is Feb 14.  Is this an extraordinarily long time?

Answer
They must have had a hard time getting the new frame, Mitchell only call for 27 hours, plus a few extras, to change the frame. It's probably a 40 hour job.
Will you be happy, you should be very happy when the job is done or the shop should not be in business. Some of these new frames are made of high strength steel and cannot be repaired legally.
