Default Dent on integra, checking options.



Ok so I got this dent on my integra near the hatch , above the passenger side rear tire. Took it to a body shop and got an estimate of $350 to repair it, said he'll push it out and fix it up with bondo and then repaint it. Seemed a little high and was seeing if that was an ok price. Or if there was other options or just check another shop. Thanks

Sounds pretty reasonable if he can make it look good, because he's going to have to paint the entire quarter panel and blend it up into the C-pillar and into the doors. Good luck with that for only $350.

just paint the scratch the same color as the body and itll be fine, since its a light color, ull hardly see it.

my silver GS has about 3 dents, small but the paint didnt come off so u can only see if when ur up super close/.

Do you plan on painting your car in the near future? If so, use some scratch touch-up paint to prevent rust and wait till then. It is much cheaper at body shops when all the problems are fixed at once instead of piece meal work.

I agree. That actually sounds low to me for the amount of work involved. I'd be slightly concerned about the final results, but then, I'm rather picky about bodywork.
