I got my frame checked before I started the the body work. My car is a driver, so I just wanted to make sure the frame was square/straight per the drawing from the manual, and didn't want to check every dimension. The body shop charged me about $85 for the basic check of the frame. This price did not include any repairs, and I think that covered about an hour to an hour and a half of labor. Like anything else, the cost can vary a lot. I took the frame drawing to a couple of shops, told them what I wanted, got their cost estimate for the checking only, and make a choice from there. I have a feeling my price was on the more competitive side for the work I needed, but who knows??
Good luck.
