Re: HELP NEED TO FIX .25 panel (Bunz)
That is the hardest area for a body shop to fix so that price sounds about right... I think your best bet is to let them straighten it out and paint it. For them to cut and weld a new quarter panel piece, it will probably cost you even more. Good luck...

You got a good quote. In order to replace a 1/4 panel they have to cut the old one out, fix any of the framing underneath, weld on a new panel, smooth the welds, bondo til perfect, then paint. The process is tedious and long, the materials might be somewhat cheap but labor is outrageous.
What I'm saying is that your damage isnt that bad, if 1300 is alot then dont even think about putting on a new 1/4 panel. Unless you can get a great deal its just not worth it.
Quoted from Bunz on a pm:
Bunz (10:44 PM 4/12/2005): k *** in my situation i was ****** try the best deal i can find and i aint considering on buying a new one so if u aint got no advice then dont post

Yes it is fixable but no need for a new panel, it will cost way more then the estimate you have.
have the bumper. bondo or anything?
If you have the bumper thats great. yes, after they pull out the dent they will apply bondo to smooth everything out.
i went to a shop estimate 1300 for just it to be pushed out and still no paint???
Sounds about right. Shop around, it might be cheaper elsewhere. Go to the place your insurance recommmends. Remember you get what you pay for....
but if theres any shop that can fix this let me know
I'm not from your area, I can not reccomend some where to go.
THANKS
Youre welcome, but please stop pm'ing me.
