When I took her to get an alignment, they found my subframe has been bent. See link below.

What should I do to fix this last problem? The axels are fine and nothing else is messed up down there, except the subframe.
Would it be beneficial for me to unbend it myself with a torch and some hitting power? Replace the subframe myself? Or have it done by a shop?
Subframes are about $250 which isn't the cheapest but this is an expensive mistake that ive come to own up to. Any advice?

The subframe will also come with bushings. Frankly it’s a really good deal.
