    How much is it to bend a length of tube? I got great pricing on product, and a buddy that owes me, so Im going to get him to fab up a simple tube bumper.

    Will a shop bend a length if I give them exact measurements and angles?

    Thanks

    A shop would probably charge in a variety of ways
    -By the hour. Take the shop rate and then charge for the time it takes, usually with a minimum of $50 or something
    -Per bend. I'd expect something like $5-10/bend depending on complexity and the accuracy necessary. Once again, probably with a $50 minimum or something along those lines.
