It looks like camber arm to me.

Obviously tire wear would be an issue, but only if you drive around like that for ages.
How good are you with the tools?
I would probably jack it up, take it off, and attempt to straighten it myself. Of course, its already been weakened so its possible it could break, up to you.

That's definitely a rear camber arm. There are plenty of aftermarket ones, and most of them are adjustable. I would recommend OEM only because if you got an aftermarket one you would have to adjust it. I'm not sure how it is supposed to be calibrated. Plus most people get adjustable camber arms to fix problems associated with lowering their suspension. Here is a helpful graphic on the purpose of a camber arm.

Your's looks bent pretty bad so one wheel is rolling at an angle. Mine are bent too, but they are slightly and evenly bent so the tires wear out evenly as a result. Hope this helps!
Oh, and its an easy fix, so buy it and install it yourself. You can find camber arms on ebay that range between $70-$200 shipped.

its bent .. obviously... you are correct ...

if he cant tell its bent and thinks its ok to keep that way ..
you dont need that kind of person working on your car ..
its not that difficult to do yourself ..

i had the car imported from USA and it had some fake foose rims so i wanted to upgrade, the nuts on them where unique (for anti theft i think)
anyways the didnt come with the proper to unscrew them so they had to be removed by force (during this i was out of town and gave the rims and car to my brother who explained what happened)
this is not the only problem that resulted from this mis-hap
