Messed up my strut! Help!

So I was on the freeway and long story short, I hit a curb going like 70. Since then I've taken it in to Pepboys and another long story short, they figured out they redo the alignment because apparently, at that speed, I bent the mount on the frame of the car where the strut actually mounts. That is, the strut actually pushed up and bent the mount when I went up on the curb. I've already had to pay 600 for parts/labor to fix the strut and lower control arm, but now, they've got to bend this part of the frame back so that an alignment can be done on the car (right now it sits with huge negative camber on one side). Just curious if anybody knows how much this should cost and if they know anywhere near torrance (that's where my car is) that's a good place to do it. I don't know what kind of sophisticated stuff they'll need to get that piece back to OEM or if they'll just get it to where it "looks" right and then let the alignment compensate for the rest. It's an awkward place to bend.

I'm getting ready to tow it to a place on Monday (not open today) but I was hoping for some input since you guys are always helpful. I assume there's no alternative to taking it to a frameshop to be fixed. Thanks in advance!
