Anyone know much about body shop prices
#1
Hi all.

Don't worry it's not for the Rallye!

I know prices can vary wildly from place to place but in my area there's quite a few bodyshops who I'm sure represent everything from the top end to the bottom end so hoping to get some sort of price estimate on the attached pic.

It's a 206 SW I'm thinking of going to view but it's a long way from me so wanted to at least have a discussion about price over the phone. So to that end I was wondering how much the damage in the pic would set me back? 

It looks like a ding that's not broken the paint and a scuff on the colour coded run strip. The pic from the side on doesnt indicate any further damage. So before I make a phone call can anyone shed some light on the repair costs? £50? £100? £200? £300?

Cheers

Without seeing in person it's hard to estimate a price but just to give you a ball park I charge £150 per panel and £50 for a blend if needed, not sure of the prices over your way but we come out very competitive in this area, hope this helps fella

Happy days!! Big Grin Haha would have thought the bumper would be damaged to get a dent like that in the 1/4 but you maybe lucky there mate, like I said to give you a proper quote we will need to see it in person but I would imagine it would b around £200 to £250 at the worst fella, let me know if you buy it and il give you our address and if you don't know already we do trade work all the way to AC Schnitzer show cars so she will be in safe hands

Does that worst case figure cover the bumper or just the panel?

If it helps one of the most recommended body shops in the area was quoting be around £200 to £250 to respray both front wings and completely redo the bonnet (to blend it all in and make sure it matched). this is for a moonstone one, its a hard colour to blend and match.. others will be easier but i should imagine the cost would be much the same

if its any help that is.. prices are in South wales!
