When something hits your towbar

[Pinch]

Anywhere else would I be looking? Where would I be going to get a proper inspection, would a mechanic be sufficient? I am reluctant to walk into a panelbeater as often their level of customer service is dirt and prices sky high unless you say the word 'insurance claim'.

A good mechanic would generally be ok. They know what is should look like.
