Default Taking out welded subframes ??? Help please

I think the subframes I had installed are in wrong. The guy that put them in I found out did not have the car sitting right when he put them in. Looks like he reamed a few holes on the driver side . I think he reamed the subframe holes and my RCA on that side. Whats the best way to take them off and see the damage? Is this something a shop can easily fix? I was hoping I could get them out and maybe replace them with a bolt in set . Help !!!!!

Prob gring the welds off, you could just grind the front welds lose put the weight on the car and re-weld, just a thought

yes, just use an angle grinder or cutting wheel to cut the welds and you'll be set. I can't say what a shop will charge guess it depends where you're located.

Thanks for the replies guys . I was hoping Rapidmotorsports would be able to do it. They are the closest shop to me . Anyone have any experience with them?
