Hey everyone, last night i went to my car when i got done work. Noticed a 4-6 inch dent on my door. well it was hit by a cart. So its dented and scratched. About how much do you think a body shop would cost to fix something like this?

Please let me know.

 

Well man I dont see any pix but I was told last week by a body shop that you can usually figure paint alone on one door is around $400.00. Cost to totally repaint an xB $3,000-$4,000.

 

cause of a dent on the door means the whole door needs to be done? just curious.

 

yes....the whole door needs re-painting. how many doors are we talking about here???

 

just one.

 

the whole door needs to be re-painted. good luck bro.

 

they better pay for it!

 

They as in WHO? Do you know who pushed the cart into your box? Or the store?

 

they will blend the color, not paint the whole door. they will clear the whole door though.....

 

The store, I work there and the cart guy told me he took the cart off my car.

 

Stores generally post signs saying they are not responsible for damage caused by carts; parking is at the risk of the car owners. I'm afraid your comprehensive coverage is all you have to go one.

 

I agree But I almost got confirmation that it would be paid for as long as I didnt report it as an accident so it wouldent count agains our store. He said he would take care of me just to go get some estiments... So I am crossing my fingers they dont turn around and so no.

 

Hey, I got two quotes.. 700 through dealership and 400 through a good guy in my town.

Verdict, My work will not pay for the damage.

 

i had a dent in my door... small dent but enuff to crack the paint... cost just under 400$ to pull the dent and repaint... and that was thru a dealer body shop... good luck on getting yours fixed..

 

Make sure to "Report it as an accident so it WILL count against your store."!

 

I see you have a future as a grocery technician.

 

Wrong way to go about it, my friend. Pick a reliable body shop in your town, go to them, and ge the work done. The cheapest guy is not always the best. Avoid chain body shops, like Maaco.

Depending on the color of the box, and where the dent is in proximity to the the other panels also depends on blending.

I work as collision esitmator, so if you have any other questions, let me know.

 

The only chance I had was for the store to take care of the bill, I am going to have to ride around with a dented door for a year or two until im settled after the move.

 

SUE!

 

"SUE!"

On what basis?
