I see an issue to pay $100 to pay for a pre-diagnosis before the actual diagnosis. How much will the actual diagnoses cost? Legitimate shops only need to do 1 diagnosis. $100 is steep, $25 is fine but 2 diagnosis fee's are just stupid.

did you read the post? it is a $100 diagnostic fee IF he pulls the car from the shop to be repaired elsewhere, the only people who have any issue with this have never run a shop.

First, most DEALER shops will tell you it is 1 hour labor time to even look at the car. And by letting them look at it you are agreeing to that. Second, all shops will drop that "diagnosis fee" if you allow them to fix the car. Third, why is it wrong for them to charge for their tech and lift time? If you have bent suspension parts and need time to check if the car is true, it is not unreasonable to expect to pay 1 hour in diagnosis. When a car is in a wreck is it unreasonable to have a tear down?

$100 is pricey but fair.
I'd just do an insurance claim... raise my premium a tad probably but my DD would be DD again.

If the frame isn't as bad as they say it is and its only the lca and maybe the tie rods I'm sure you can get them (oem) from here or even craigslist for dirt cheap or maybe even free. So theres that, the only thing i highly recommend is to get it out of the dealer ASAP. I have a crack in my bumper and they are charging me 1200$ to get a new one so they just want money.
