the Cost of Auto Body Repair

I had to have the whole passenger side panel and bumper replaced; someone had hit my car over the passenger side back tire and damaged the bumper at the same time. The side panel and bemper were replaced and then the whole car was painted so it would match/one side wouldn't look different

The service was spectacular!! The place I brought it to went above and beyond what I expected! For example they painted the whole car for the same price it would have been to just paint the panel and bumper they replaced just so that the car would look great when I got it back!! They whole process took a little longer than I thought it would but it was also my first time having auto body work done. (I was without my car for a little over a month) They also gave me a "rental" car to drive while they were doing the repairs since I didn't have rental on my car insurance

My tip is 100% DO RESEARCH on the places you are thinking about bringing your car or get the name of a place someone you know has gone to. There are great places like the one I went to and there are places that I talked to that just seemed like they would do bare minimum only for the same cost!
