how much would it cost to bend front subframe?

the front subframe on my 91 taurus is bent from hitting a curb. the part where the control arm connects to is pushed in a little and the front right of the subframe is pulled back a little bit.(tire sits back too far and has a positive camber). i was just wondering if anyone knows about how much this would cost at a body shop, roughly.

i know replacing it is also an option, but i have extremely tight with time

    Body shops (reputable ones) won't even try and straighten a sub frame because of the liability. These aren't that hard to replace and can be had fairly cheap from a salvage yard. It would also be cheaper because a body shop will charge by the hour for trying to straighten it. So figure the cost of a sub-frame and the couple hours to replace it over trying to fix the one you have.

    It could easily cost more than the value of the car.

    Try asking an independent body shop for an estimate, but it's going to be a shocker.
