hit and run

[modalero01]

so some ass decided to back into my car and not tell me about it.. i really want this fixed but the guy who looked at it said about $700 to fix? :ninja: i think not..


4625

What should i do about it?

[jeenysrider07]

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

[lonnie]

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

[modalero01]

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]

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

[lonnie]

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.

I agree.

[AJules]

get a second opinion

yeah x3

[modalero01]

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

[[ion] C2]

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

[Vinalero]

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]

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

what wheels are those? those are horrible.

[cherrington17]

^pfft. use canned air and a hair dryer. :p

700 is rediculous.

[FrankTheTank]

at first glance, i thought he had these wheels.

[jeenysrider07]

those are funny lookin

[cherrington17]

rofl. penis rims!

[01silveralero]

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]

700 sounds about right for that

[Midgear]

rofl. penis rims!

bahahaha!!

[bdyman]

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

[Midgear]

lol.. over 1000 bucks for that little bit of damage.. that is nuts.

[YALEROYNOT]

that sounds right to me. I had a guy put two door dings in my rear door and he paid over $600.

[bdyman]

well nothing is cheap, restoration and custom work labor rates start at 85 an hour, and go up from there, and you want quality ya gonna pay for it

[Midgear]

I'd tap it out with a hammer or take a damn toilet plunger in an attempt to "suck" the dent out before i paid 1000 dollars to fix all that shit lol.

it looks like a 50 - 60 dollar fix to me, but im no expert on body work-

[cherrington17]

^...and with comments like that...your gonna make bdyman shed some tears... :lol:

[FrankTheTank]

it looks like a 50 - 60 dollar fix to me, but im no expert on body work-
shit son, there is no such thing as a $50-60 fix in bodywork.

[bdyman]

sorry dude, that is not 50 or 60 bucks to fix, nice try

[meadus101]

I need to win the lottery, and Fly Bodyman up here to have some fun with my Car.

[jayson_waltz]

ya i''d have to say bdyman is right. its gonna be quite a bit to fix that. The dents are in bad places and it looks like it might be kinked right on the edge of the panel by the door.

[JOEY GLADSTONE]

you paying mostly for paint, and all the damage isnt on one panel so you need the 1/4 panel reworked along with the door and then get both of them painted, if all the damage was on the same panel then it would be about half the cost

[bdyman]

like i mentioned in my first post its labor rates too, where i work body labor is 65, paint is 65, so look at my first post, it adds up quick

and to you meadus101, it would be temtping but 1, i would not leave my kid for long periods of time 2. would be impossible for me to bring all my tools, thrid you come to me tell me what you want when the car is done i`ll call you to pick it up

[Midgear]

ok, find me all new mounting hardware for my rear bumper cover so I can put it back on the car correctly :lol:

[bdyman]

so you need all 4 brackets, and do you need the upper stiffner, ya know the part that the top of the cover mounts too by the rear body panle, i can get ya a price on monday iam off today

[Midgear]

so you need all 4 brackets, and do you need the upper stiffner, ya know the part that the top of the cover mounts too by the rear body panle, i can get ya a price on monday iam off today

I need everything that mounts the cover to the car.. the two side brackets, all push pins, screws / bolts / nuts ... a new cover too because the one that tore off is all scratched / broken on one corner..

hell i've only got 4 zip ties holding it on right now because I got sick of all the "LOL WHUT HAPPNED TO YER CAR DEWD LUKZ LIKE SHEEIT"

yeeaaaaa... can I get two seperate prices on the cover and the hardware?

[bdyman]

sure, i will get a price on a remanufactured bumper, and hardware

[99-alero]

just rememeber u get wat u pay for. and $700 seems cheap

[modalero01]

so i didnt want to start a new thread. but today i was backing out my drive way and hear this loud scrape noise. i immediately stop put it in park get out and find that my rear axle came undone from the wheel. A bolt literally snapped in half right next to the very top...luckily i dont thin theres any damage..

[jayson_waltz]

there is no rear axle in a FWD car. you mean teh a arm?

[Midgear]

damn, that sucks lol

what woulda caused that?

[deathwish666]

What should i do about it?

learn bodywork!

haha cheapest way to do it

or you might be able to go to a junk yard and yank off door and panel (idk for sure) then have it painted

[kwhauck]

yep $700 is cheap, i had a dent about the same size, here is as they are fixing it, $2300 and they had to repaint 3/4 of the car to blend it so I had them just paint the whole car and throw in the extra money.......
