Can a bent chassis really be straightened out properly?

So I'm in a bit of a dilemma and could really use some input from anyone who's been through something similar. I picked up a used Land Cruiser a few months back, and the price was honestly too good to pass up, but I'm starting to wonder if I should've been more suspicious about why it was so cheap. Took it for a routine service and the mechanic mentioned he noticed some irregularities with the underbody, suggesting it might have had a hard impact at some point. I've been driving it around Abu Dhabi without any major issues, but there's this nagging feeling that the alignment is never quite perfect no matter how many times I get the wheels balanced. I'm seriously considering taking it in for a full structural assessment to see if it's even safe to keep, but I'm also worried they'll tell me it's beyond repair and I've wasted my money. I found a place called https://zenfoautoservices.ae/car-chassis-repair-abu-dhabi/ while browsing for specialists, and it looks like they deal with exactly this kind of frame damage, but I'm curious if anyone here has actually had a chassis straightened on a 4x4 and how it held up afterwards on rough roads. Did it drive like new or was it always a bit off? I just don't want to throw good money after bad, you know?
