Yah think! j/k

Yah i would have to say it's screwed cause if your steering wheel controls are vertical for it to go straight yah I would say **** is bent and for the dealer to say that to you I would find a new dealer.

Yeah been repairing a lot of curb damage lately, you may have just knocked the toe out but your control arm may be bent as well, a quick check is to measure the distance of the rear of the tire to fender, if it's even on both sides I would go with an alignment and see if that takes care of it if there is no visable damage to the the frame or other suspension parts.

sounds like you bent the control arm and possibly damaged a few other things in the process

Cut and weld eh... that's weird... yeah i bent the control arm. Looking for another one... apparently people have been having issues with the redline arms and bending them on pot holes as well... good to avoid them but word that the cobalt ones are stronger... time to upgrade while i'm at it
