All good info!

1) Loaner car.
2) Pay nothing for the original repair.
3) Squak about not being consulted beforehand....having the bodyshop involved without being told is shady and sneaky.
4) Tell 'em you want a NEW 100K Benz for free for their screw up! (Won't happen though but it costs' nothing to ask!)
5) I be willing to say that the frame has be compromised. The shear weight of these cars alone would cause some bending of the chassis falling off the lift even if it was just a foot.
