Default Bent prop

Well I went somewhere I shouldn't have today and my prop found a stump! It is an aluminum prop so I am going to get it repaired but thought I might ask on here if anyone knows what most prop shops charge to just straighten out a prop? Thankfully the tree stump just tweaked it and didn't break anything!

    Aluminums average about $75-$90 depending on how much welding is needed.

    I am hoping it shouldn't need welded on at all since there are no chunks missing, it just needs bent slightly back into shape.

    Mikey is right on the money. A buddy of mine had his fixed and it was $80.
