yeah, i know..ourars dont have a frame...but you know what i mean.

before i get my SFCs, i want to bring the car somewhere to make sure it is "straight".

i dont even know wher to begin as far as cost goes...i have to make some phone calls eventually, but i cant right now. anyone have any ideas?

At the body shop I work at as a frame repair tech the charge just to put the car on the machine and measure it is $300-350.Now keep in mind that is just hook up and measure not fix,fixing is usually an additional $65-70 an hour.Frame measure and repair is not cheap.Rates where you are could be cheaper but this is just from my own experience.Shop around and maybe you can find it fairly cheap.

I had slight frame damage when I wrecked my car and I got the front end pulled out for 178 bucks. This was not a back yard shop either. I geuss it is pretty easy to do. I would say be prepared to pay 150 to 400.

last one i had checked, actually fixed i knew it was damaged, was in the 250 range. it was a minor fix since i had already worked it back into place as best i could and all they had to do was do the finial tweeking. this was 2 years ago and it was sometihng like 175 just to put it on the machine.
