yes this is a fixable problem if the frame is only tweaked or spread over the frame rail in question as long as there are no kinks or breaks in the frame. the unusable debris must be cleared away first and depending on the amount of damage the decision to pull or scrap must be made at this point. i have seen pulling bills that have ranged from 300 to over 5000 U.S. dollars [east coast] on cars with minor damage[Jeep tj] to a new at the time[ Mercedes sl roadster] i hope your dad is OK. and good luck on the Kia.

It doesn't have much of a frame. Those are through away cars. You don't get what you paid for
