Title: Body shop quote, opinons please
Post by: Vdubbster on 11 March 2009, 14:35
Guys,

Just took my car to get a quote from a local bodyshop.

I have been quoted £340 to:

paint my o/s door and blend it in to the rear quarter and wing
pull a ding out of the door
repair two patches of rust at the bottom of the same door
repair a patch of rust under the rear n/s light (where the rear quarter meets the rear panel)
and to re lacquer the whole o/s + full polish

This guy has been used by several people on Edition 38, from experience can anyone tell me if this is a reasonable price.

I know you cant put a price on quality, but I have no experience with body shops as Ive never had the need

Thanks

Defo a good price, the spoiler on the back of my car is gonna cost £140 odd alone, and that's just to paint it! LOL!

sounds resonable. the blending in will prob be the hardest job as its old to new paint. did the same sort of thing to my tornado red mk2, job was done well and it cost more then what u been quoted.
