I have jigged many cars in my time in the bodyshop trade

It isnt as expensive as you may think

You will be quoted about 1 hours labour to load the car onto the jig and 1 hour to take it off again ,
If the car cant be pulled back in about 8 hours worth of jig time then its usually not worth the repair anyway , so you probs will be looking at about £200 as a rough guide , as that looks a simple repair .

People worry about cars that have been JIGGED but if done correctly there is nothing to worry about as they are pulled back to within 1mm of what it was when new ,,,and you will find there is a 3mm tollerance in any brand new shell anyway so in fact it is within 2mm better than new
