I always refer people to Imperial Collision at Deerfoot and 16th Ave.

I know the owner there and I trust their work.

How about for Edmonton?? Stupid me, last night the snow covered up all the parking blocks in the lot in my apartment complex so when I came home to park it, I rolled into the block. I don't think I actually hit the block with my front bumper since it clears the height of the block, but I hit the block with something on the underside of the car... don't think it was the tire since it was a pretty firm, but light hit. :dunno: Anyway, having a look at the car afterwards, my front bumper seems to be a touch misaligned. It's not quite obvious looking at the car itself; the separation lines have a slightly larger gap on the right side then it is on the left, but we're talking millimetres of a difference. However, my right headlight seems to be fairly obviously protruding out from the way it's supposed to fit - the left side is still flush with the bumper and the hood on the inside corner of the light, but on the right headlight it's quite obvious that it's coming out, especially on that inside corner. :( :cry: Can someone tell me where I can get this fixed?? I don't know if it's the bumper that has to be re-aligned or if it's the headlight housing that needs to be re-aligned. For that matter, where to take it???? Please help. I'll get pictures of it hopefully later on today. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I finally got a chance to upload the pics I took the other day so here goes. I know my car's pretty dirty right now but there's no point for me washing it just yet since it'll get dirty 2 minutes afterwards. At first glance it's not that obvious, but play closer attention to the alignment around the headlights and you'll see where the differences are....

This part isn't really a big deal and probably something I don't need to worry about, but it's noticeable if you run your finger along the separation lines on both sides.....

....And this is probably the root of my problem and the area I think that needs to be focused on in order to correct my situation but how do I go about it without breaking something else? Does anyone know whether I should force this in or not cuz I'm not sure if that would be TOO much force or not???
