the Cost of Auto Body Repair

I drove into the lot, a man looked at the damage on the passenger rear side panel.

He gave me an estimate, which I approved. In a few days the car was like new.

Here is a break down of what I was charged for materials: a) Bumper cover LT side-repair-$2.50. b) Bumper Cover LT Side-refinish--$3.00 c) ADD for Clear Coat--refinish--$1.20 d) Overhaul O/H bumper assy--additional labor-$2.00 e) LT Tail lamp assy--R and I Assembly--$.90 f) LT quarter panel-repair-$11.50 g)LT quarter panel--refinish--$2.20 h) ADD for clear coat-Refinish-$.90 i) Fuel door w/0 remote-R and I assembly--$.30 j)Fuel door w/0 remote-Refinish-$.30 k) LT body side midg 3/1/3 adhesive-R and I assembly-$.30 l) clean and reglue-repair-$.50 m) LT qtr glass Ford-R and I assembly-$1.00 n)LT Side molding-R and I Assembly-$.50 o) Color Tint Match-repair-$.50 p) Corrosion protection prim--replace non-OEN-$.50 q) Cover car for overspray--replace non-OEN-$.50 r) color sand and buff/polish-Repair-$1.60 s) Featheredge fill and sand-repair-$.50 s) Cover car for primer app -relace Non OEN-$.50 t) Sheet Metal-$824.40 u) Refinish-$295.20 v) OEM-$68.07 w) Non OEM-$50.50 x) Overall sublet-$65.00 y) Paint Material-$229.60 z) TAX-$28.73

I thought the quality of the service was excellent. They treated me well. It was a pleasant experience. I have no complaints.

I would suggest shopping around to get a better price. I was in a rush and went to the first place in my area. If I had shopped around, I may have found a better price.
