Will a body shop fix your license plate if its damaged in a crash?

Ok, I know it's a dumb question, but my car was hit and the license plate is scuffed, bent, and ugly. Im a little (ok a lot) persnickety about my car and while I know they'll fix the bumper and stuff, will they also fix the plate? The car is a 2012 almost new so I want the plate to be like new too!

    No they will hammer it out straight again but they won't do a paint job on it. You'll have to get the insurance to pay for a new plate. This could be the most enjoyable 60 minutes you will ever waste.

    You can ask them to straighten it a bit but nobody can otherwise alter a plate. If it is unreadable, you will have to get a set of new plates. The paying insurance company should cover that cost.
