Default Frame straightening

Hey guys yes I am still here. Even though the SC has been down for a while now. The front is still smashed. I can't get a body shop to give me a ballpark figure to straighten my left frame rail. I can see exactly where it bends ( under the battery ) and kicks up and that is all I need straightened out so I can get to work. Does anyone know how much this will cost me ? A general figure is all.

Damn man that sucks...

BUT, I always thought that if the frame was bent then it's a write off?

When I think of engines, transmissions, I always think of frame straightening; why did the mods choose to place your thread here I wonder?
Should only cost $2-300, if you strip the area down first, so the shop doesn't have to spend time on that part. Are you suer that's all that's bent/damaged?

it costs about $500.00 because of the machine used and the training involved in pulling frames. Body shops hire specific guys that do only frame work to work the pullers. If you are in cali, my body shop can do it. Just PM me and I will get you hooked up.
