Alberto,

Yo, bummer about the car. Let me guess... a bit of sideways drift at speed? Patch of ice?

Instead of looking at putting on 16" wheels, why not go with 17 inchers instead? 17" wheels aren't that much more than 16's. You know of course that bigger wheels lead to all kinds of suspension modifications....

Should be an easy job for a good dealer tech really if there's no body work. I see cars like that often during the winter. The obvious bent parts are first replaced, then the car gets a 4WD alignment to make sure that everything's within specs. If there's anything else wrong with the cars suspension/frame/etc that's not adjustable, then either more parts are required or the frame might need straightening by a frame shop (body shop).

Some body shops will also do all the above too if they have a good mechanic but the body shop near us has been bringing us the cars for suspension work before they do the body work.

If you dont know anyone in your area who has had good work done, then it might pay to do some detective work. Call around to the various dealerships, and ask who they would recommend to get that kind of work done. If they ask what model car you have, just name any one that the dealer sells. You might find a trend, in that several all recommend the same place. Get creative, and call some wrecking yards, tow companies, etc. Then call your local Better Business office and see if there are any complaints against any shops you are considering, perhaps ask the shop for references, etc. It's a bit of work, but it's better than paying the consequences of a poor choice. Good luck, and sorry to hear about your car.
