fender roll/stretch

So I know every shop around here now claims to be fender rolling experts, but does anyone know of a shop that can stretch fenders also?

I used one of those works well, not sure on a FC but your's looks good. i know on some other cars the front fenders tend to flex, plus it takes awhile. I just use one of those rollers to start the process then drive around then take out the good assortment of hammers and start pullin them out farther.
