| How much will this cost?/Is this worth fixing?/Bodyshop Recommendations
Any super rough estimates on what it'll cost to pound out this dent + repaint? Is it worth it? We're planning on trading this car in in about 4 months so I'm not so sure if it's worth it (i.e., in terms of value recouped)... but then it's painful to see it everyday.
Any recommendations for bodyshops for a minor job like this? (Tri-cities preferably!)

It'd probably be cheaper to buy a replacement panel and have it repainted.
If you're lucky, there's a silver EK at the wreckers that you could buy the fender off and just get the bumper touched up.
BTW details on the car and price? I might be looking soon.

If you are not too worry about the bumper the fender for repair or paint should be around 300-500. Pm me for recommendations

thats a 3 hour repair for that dent.
Aftermarket fender is probably cheaper than repairing it. Ask the shop for both quotes.
$300-$500 sounds about right.

Leave it. What year is it? It's probably worth 1000-1500 trade in value so no point in paying 30% of the value just to make it look a little better. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Just leave it. You won't see the outside of your car while driving. If there's exposed metal try to touch it up so you don't get any rust.
