Man that sucks Sorry to hear about that. You should get some cameras(lol)

lonnie · 07-23-2008, 02:59 PM

700 to fix that bull shit. Those are crack prices!

modalero01 · 07-23-2008, 03:00 PM

yeah lol effin security all around my car. the worst part is, is that it happened during soccer training so it was someone who i was either playing against or with but they woudn't fess up

modalero01 · 07-23-2008, 03:01 PM

the guy said it got intothe frame work so its hard to pop out and he'd have to spray most of the whole side of the car.. too bad that tv pop-a-dent thing wouldn't work lol

Better get a second opinion cause that sounds like some BS to me, off course I don't believe anything out of anyones mouth that I have to pay to do something.

is anyone on here work in a body shop that could take a look at it?

[ion] C2 · 07-23-2008, 03:19 PM

we don't have frames

$700 seems high, but might be accurate. it's going to need some work to get all those dents to be smooth, it's not like just popping them is going to make it look awesome. and paint will have to be blended, lotso money.

ask bdyman

I had some dmg done around that same part of the body. Mine were more severe, but still in the same area and the job was the same. It cost me 650 just for that.

FrankTheTank · 07-23-2008, 03:37 PM

thats nothing a little dry-ice shouldnt pop right out.

what wheels are those? those are horrible.

cherrington17 · 07-23-2008, 03:48 PM

^pfft. use canned air and a hair dryer.

700 is rediculous.

FrankTheTank · 07-23-2008, 04:04 PM

at first glance, i thought he had these wheels.

jeenysrider07 · 07-23-2008, 04:07 PM

those are funny lookin

cherrington17 · 07-23-2008, 04:30 PM

rofl. penis rims!

01silveralero · 07-23-2008, 04:34 PM

bdyman should be around somewhere.....
he will probably tell u it is quite costly to fix because the panel is one piece that is needed to be welded back on when removed.

canned air and hairdyer may work on that panel

JOEY GLADSTONE · 07-23-2008, 05:16 PM

700 sounds about right for that

blah blah ya ya ya
ok from what i see the door is damaged, so is the 1/4 panle, 700 is cheap for what ever this guy is goin to do ,
the door r&i belt molding/door handle/ mirror/ body side molding/ door frame molding, door frame applique, just that right there is costly
1/4 panle, R&I body side molding/ drop down rocker molding, tail light, drop down rear bumper, again costly
where i work body labor is up to 65 an hour so take that into consideration for just doin that work above, the door is about 5 hour dent, the 1/4 also about 5 hours, so take 10x65=650, plus paint time at 65 an hour which it would be about 6 1/2 to 7 hours paint time 7x65=455, and that not including, cost of material/hazordous clean up/ sand and buff/ you would be looking at over 1,000, so for this guy to say 700 bucks ya it`s cheap

and yes we do have frame rails, rear frame rails, front frame rails, and upper frame rails
