Any modern well equipped shop will have one as it is required to be competitive in the industry. Tying down and pulling is basically the same with either full frame or uni-body. A well equipped system (with optional equipment) (w/ trained and experienced tech) can do most anything.
Pickups and SUV's (according to model) are full frame.
And of course you will come across a frame that has been tweaked too far and calls for replacement.
Would a shop wish to touch it? Depends on how busy they are. Remember, you are paying labor by the hour. Most large metros have specialty shops that specialize in this type of work.
