Are you sure that is the chassis crack? Sometimes, the crack could be body filler crack.

Body/chassis crack would be more serious....but can be welded back. if it the crack is extensive (meaning more crack underneath) then the panels need to be removed and repaired properly.

Cracking could be due to "whacking" of the car....

May I know what is difference between chassis & body filler?

My car is proton waja. Could it can be repair at normal car body workshop or is there any specialist that do this kind of repair?

Body filler are clay-like fill used for covering body surface imperfection after body repair. The malay call it simen. The simen can crack, if it is used too thick.....

Check properly at the crack, and see if it is metal crack or body filler crack...
