Can anyone tell me an approixmate figure on how much this is going to cost me to get fixed... I was backing up today and there was a telephone pole in the blind spot and I hit it.. It may look like it, but there is absolutely no damage to the bumper or tail light, there is a little bit on the spongy stuff around it, just like a little tear but that is nothing, it doesn't even need to be fixed.. please no talkin' about how it's a cavalier and all.. i know what it is .. so any help is appreciated
Definetly get it fixed or that will rust to hell on ya.. I would say $500-$600 to fix that based on a similar bump on my old accord when a lady backed into it. That was at Wolf Colision too.
Do you think I should pound on it for a bit and see if I can get it straight and save some money.. or will the metal be too weak and perhaps me get the panel replaced?
were you backing up the hill or down? lol theres got to be a couple of good body men in springhill that can fix that up pretty good. Its kind of crinkly, but you might be able to get it pulled & cleaned up. g'luck!
probably about $400, is my guess. To make it look perfect you will probably have to get the whole panel painted, don't bother trying to beat it out yourself, leave that to the professionals, thats the cheap part of the body work. If you don't fix it, by this time next year it will be a gaping rust hole. Go to a body shop and get an estimate. Estimates are free!
Christ man I don't know if $ is the problem, take it to the community college & let the body shop students work on it. They might not do the greatest job, but I think they'll do it for free or maybe you'll have to buy supplies. Either way, ask around different shops and shit & find out who they recommend.
So take your lazy ass to some quality collision shops around HRM and have them give you a FREE estimate.
Well I took it to my buddy who quit his job at a body shop.. he pounded it back out with a mallet a little bit and made the dent a little better..
slap a big nos or apc sticker over it never know it was there ... plus it will increase hp by at least 10%
Guess you don't take your cars to high end body shops.. Guaranteed if you want a job that will be 100% perfect and you take that to wolf, coachworks, metro or hot shots and that's what you'll pay to have that rear quarter fixed.
Been to Coachworks twice when I had my Integra. He fixed up some damage comparable to whats in the picture along with a new door handle for $350.00 cash.
