Question about body work and paint

B20eg4dr · 11-13-2007, 02:27 PM

Recently a soccer mom decided to perform a feat of great driving and the end result was that my car suffered some damage. The engine is fine and there was no radiator damage or damage to any other mechanical components. The driver's headlight was busted (still works), the bumper was pushed back and scraped up, and the hood buckled a bit. The hood lock still functions 100%. I do think the bumper support (where the radiator and a/c attach to) is bent a little on the driver side.

My questions are these:

1. Is you shop able to fix this?
2. About how much would it be (including parts mentioned above)?

Also, the car sat in the sun while I spent a lovely vacation in Afghanistan with the Army and the paint's clear coat oxidized on the hood (which needs replaced now), roof and trunk. The pain on the fenders is faded but otherwise in acceptable condition for the time being. About how much would it cost to paint match the above pieces (unsure exactly what would be needed as the color is still blue just the clear is oxidized).

I can take pics, but I am unsure if you would prefer them here or emailed. I am looking for a quote for each service if you can. Sorry for the long message but I was trying to cover it all.

My suggestion would be to bring your car over to the shop, so one of our painters can take a look at it and give you a accurate quote.

Depending on where you are located, we would much rather you bring the vehicle the shop for an accurate quote. Without seeing the car in person, it's hard to access the damages.

Thank you.
