I'm looking for advice on where to take it to get the damage documented properly.

Scenario1:
Roll into Collisions -R- Us (made up Big Box body shop) and ask them to give estimate. 16 year old kid with clip board comes out and starts writing and mumbling. He finds some scratches and notes the bent up bumper then writes an estimate for paint correction, replacement bumper and a front end alignment.

Scenario2:
Roll into Rod's Custom Chassis and Suspension (again...made up) and ask them to give estimate. 60 year old gent walks up to the truck with clip board in hand and says geez that's not sitting right then proceeds to mount the truck to a frame table and shows me where the hard points on the frame are not where they should be and goes on to explain how to get them put back right again (or as close to right as possible).

I really want to end up closer to Scenario2 above.

How would you go about this if you were in my shoes?

Thanks,

I'm glad the other party stopped and you have their info. Nowadays people don't always care. I'm still happy you didn't roll and you're ok.
