I think you will need to take the car to a shop with a frame straightening machine that can handle the hydro-formed frame rails. You might want to check with the European dealer for GM.

This is a link to the dealer in the Netherlands as of 2009. Not certain if they are still the dealer:

When I was rear ended, the plastic cubby in the tub got cracked and that was it. It was repaired, no frame damage or other tub cracking.

My body shop guy told me that the the cost of replacing the tub, straightening the frame, has led to many vettes being "totalled" by the insurance companies.
