Anyone know how much to throw a car on "the rack" ?

[sparq]

Cars only like 1-2mm off, was in a very low speed hit, but stupid honda unibodies. The passenger door is tight, driver side loose a little. Its not much - how much do you think it would cost to just strap it to "the rack" and have it pulled? I cant imagine it would cost a fortune since its not like its totally outta whack??? :o

Going rate up here is around $70-$80.00 an Hour. Thats canadian prices too.

It straightens out a bent frame.

The Rack is this huge metal platform thing the car goes on and it has chains they hook to parts of the car and stuff and the machines pulls outward and will pull apart whatever you chain it to.

$70-80 / hour canadian... any idea how long it would take for something like that? I assume they would charge at least an hour to get it on there, and chain it up, evaluate the "twist" - but like I said its VERY minute - I just want all the body panels to be realigned perfect for when I get that sucker repainted :finger:
