Needed: Body shop/Mechanic to look at my car

Needs to be close to or in NE Philly, my car is not recomended to be driven long distances as it sits.

Basically I need them to look at the underside of my car and tell me what I need to replace from my recent meeting with a curb, no body or paint work is needed, just chassis bits.

The first and only shop I took it to gave me no definate answers, just "we don't know for sure until we see it" which isn't inspiring me with much confidence about ordering parts from their list because it could be money down the drain.

Basically looking for some info from you guys.
1. If you have a shop that you trust with being honest and thorough and knowledgeble with their work, let me know.
2. If you, yourself can take a look under my car and let me know what needs to be replaced, that would work great.

The only useful info I got from the guys at the first shop was that they showed me areas they thought were affected so I can point those out and tell you/your shop what I was told before and move from there.

I will be doing the work myself when all is said and done, but I am basically looking for someone with a brain to take a look under the car and tell me what I need to order (because the first shop didn't even take off the wheels to look for bent tie-rods, or to closer inspect the control arms, or anything like that). I don't have a problem paying but I am on a tight budget so let me know what you can do, thanks!

There's a shop right on Street Rd. and I want to say that it's called Bensalem Auto body, right next to Nifty Fifties, that took care of my Talon after the first fender bender and it came back decent. Check them out, they're good people.

Yeah, if you take a left right at Street, coming from Knights (going the opposite of Sonic, so a left from the i95 side of Knights), the shop is almost as soon as you make the turn, on your right. You wouldn't even know it's there if you weren't looking for it. There's a Napa right behind it, too. Keep an eye out for the big-ass flatbed towtruck that usually sits out front. If you hit Nifty Fifties, you've gone too far.
