The shop labor rate in your area, and how busy the individual shop might be will have a big effect on the final cost.
Figure at least an hour of setup/measuring time, plus whatever straightening needs to be done. If all that is required is a simple up or down pull, without any paralellogram effect, I'd guess you're looking at a minimum of $200.00. The more complex the pull, the more you'll pay. Measuring the direction and amount of the damage before a pull is made is essential to getting a good job, because the force needed to do the straightening must be applied exactly opposite the damaging impact. Even a slight error in setting up the pull will do more damage, rather than correcting what's there already. Jerry
