Depending on how bad your pipe is kinked you may be able to fix it yourself or a autobody shop may be able to get it out for you. I don't know much about this forum because I am just browsing this but I figured I would help you out. Try to post pictures so people can see how bad it is.

Not that he will probably ever see this, but to get minor dents out (if you're careful), fill it with hot water and toss it in the freezer. Why hot water, you ask? It makes better ice. If you do this carefully and correctly, it'll take out some decent dents. Google it, you may be able to find more info. It's the same fix for a little bit of elbow grease vs. spending money on repairing it from a shop or buying a new pipe.
