Unbelievable luck...someone hit and run me this eve

Had some more quotes today, I think everyone round here is a rip off!

£950, £1000 and £1150 all cash quotes, more to go through insurance.

The other place I saw recommended a new panel etc, but then they do a lot of restoration work rather than straight fixes, £4k

The guy who does repairs for ourselves charges us £65 per panel.

He would pull as much as he could out then small amount of filler. Paint rear quarter. I could get that repair done for £300.

Even our fully Merc approved bodyshop I reckon wold repair that for £500-£600 tops.

Agreed. I'd charge £400-£450 in my bodyshop.....................if we repaired modern cars...........which we don't.

Just got my final quote through...

£588 all in, looks like a nice bodyshop, modern etc, though an unknown in terms of I have no idea if they are any good at all.

I hate things like this as it's a lottery if they will get the car looking as it was

If your not happy don't pay until its right.

That price is far more reasonable.

Yeah that's what I thought Shane, going to go for it, have explained to him that I expect it done properly and that any work on the car is not noticable and he agreed that, and that if there were any problems they would rectify it before I hand any £££ over.

Just as a guide for you.

On mine I've just had,
New wing supplied, fitted and painted (O/S)
wing painted (N/S)
Bumper repaired (stone chips) and painted
Bonnet painted

This was all done through BMW and come in @ £870 + Vat
