How much do you guys think its going to be...

[DeusEx]

A friend of mine just had somebody back into his door, took it in to get it looked at and the guy said it was going to be around $1,400 to fix just that.. got me a little worried here...
Just wondering....
I just took out a mailbox the other day, mabey 3 small dents in the door, ripped the sideskirt off, and a small dent on the back right after the hatch, how much roughly do yous think it would be to get the sideskirt put back on the door, and the small dents taken out....

lol, hmm... either you have backed over another mail box or this is a repost? :S


Edit: lol, i just check and the last one was about the mirror.

Hmm, I have no idea. But to give you an idea, this happened to me last December:


I slammed sideways into a tree. Cost the insurance a little over 2k to fix. And that included painting the whole door, fixing the rear quarter panal, and painting a partial part of the rear bumper.

He's not lying about that one. My 1st car (nissan 200sx) went to macco to get painted and they fo paint over all that stuff Viper said. There was paint on my taillights, they rush the jobs, give it one clear coat, and it chips really easy.

Maaco is pretty good.....good paint that lasts a while if you wax it every 3 months or so.
They did overspary some, but nothing hurendious usually.
Had my car 3 times and my bros 1...painted.
They screwd up a couple times on mine where it chipped but stood by their warranty and havent had a problem since.

lol, if im pay 300 - 500 dollars for a paint job, i dont want my windows, head / tail light, exhaust tips, side markers, mirror glass, etc... painted. granted its cheap and you get what you pay for, but i rather just spray on some primer and wait untill i can afford a really good paint job.

Uh.. you're not really suppost to wax once every 3 months.. I do it once a year. You using some cheap wax or what?
