Straightening a Garage

My garage has shifted over the years about 2 inches to the left. I want to replace the old swing out garage door with a new roll one and I was wondering if there are companies that will straighten the frame of the garage before I replace the door. It appears that I could attach a chain to the front top corner and pull it one way, then secure the frame inside of the garage with lag bolts and a 2 x 10 possibly. Just curious if there are companies that regularly do this. My problem is the garage is in the back of my house (corner lot) and there's really no room for heavy equipment, if that would be used at all. Any ifo would be appreciated! thanks! David Corr
