Good shop?!
Crashed the s last night. Hit some ice and lost control. I ended up jumping the car over a ditch and into a field dukes of hazard style. On impact both airbags went off. Front bumper is ruined, has an exhaust leak. Wouldnt be surprised if the frame was tweaked or the suspension was thrashed. (I hit pretty hard) obviously will need aligned.
Anyways, im looking for a shop that can look at the cars frame, suspension, exhaust, and give me a good inspection on all aspect of the car (airbags too)
Any and all help is appreciated

I'm really sorry. None of us like damaging our favorite rides, but (since you didn't say otherwise) I take it you're okay? As one of my favorite motorcycle race commentators says, "that's the main thing".
I had a similar experience once when I was much younger. Had a person riding shotgun that I'd really rather have impressed, but it didn't quite work out. I'll save details for another day, maybe over a beer or two. Or over LOTS of bread if Ira's there.
But to your question, after my deer strike I was VERY pleased with the work that Lucky's Auto Body did for me. And I'm very thankful to this "club" for recommending them to me. Talk to Steve Lee (4460 SW 142nd Ave, Beaverton (503) 646-9016) and I'm confident you won/t be disappointed. My car is really at least as good as it was before, and I'm contemplating having him do some other things for me. On my own dime, even. My brother saw his sign that he also did mechanical work, had him diagnose and fix a problem he was having on his Suburban, and was very pleased with the results AND the price.
However, if your main concern is chassis and alignment I wouldn't hesitate a moment to recommend Alignment Specialties, (16630 SW Shaw St., Beaverton (503) 642-0998, just south of the TV Hwy). I've always been a chassis guy (and had the respect of quite a few of the guys I raced with and against back in my racing days). I was very pleased with their price and approach on my S2000 a year (or two?) ago. My first stop, if I were in your shoes, would be to have them take a look at your car and see what they have to say.
Good luck. I'm happy to report that these cars ARE repairable, and that you can be as happy with them after a mishap as you were before.
