Default I need body work for cheap

So my car started getting hurt last year and i couldn't et it fixed. I was hit and ran by a dodge 3500. I really need the back and front bumpers repaired. And due to the ice I slid into the back of an SUV. I idn't do any damage to his vehicle but I bent my hood ever so slightly and can't open it. Did I mention I have to get my inspection and registration this month? Somebody please help I need good cheap body work in the DFW area.

Generally, body work and cheap shouldn't go together. You can try and save money by getting replacement parts from salvage yards instead of from the dealership or Toyota.

Insurance didn't cover it? Get a rubber mallet and bang it back into place the best you can (for the metal parts). Duck (duct) tape the rest. I don't know what the rules for inspection are (we don't have it here in FL) but I've seen some pretty bad looking cars on the road. Also try and ask a tc friend to switch out with you for inspection.
