Hey guys a few days ago I was driving and decided to turn on a very tight street and I was head to head with a car coming from the other side and, decided to make space for him to pass and ended up scratching and Denting my right side back passenger side. I’m wondering how much the repair would be. I attached some pictures below
This one is as easy as finding two white doors from a wrecking yard and adding window tint... If you find them at a place where you pull the parts yourself, you get the added bonus of practicing removing those doors before you do the same on your car.
You can clearly see from the pictures that there's also damage to rear wheel arch. That will probably need to be pulled, filled, and painted. Painted area also needs to be blended in to rocker panel and rear quarter panel.
Well, yes... Use that expensive hard to notice part to boost the pay out on the insurance claim, then just swap the doors and live with the rear quarter panel damage. The car is too old to spend big on making it perfect. Just make it close to perfect and save the money you save for another Prius in next 5 to 10 years.
You can get it done without replacing the doors or retinting, just find like two or three shops and ask. White is the cheapest paint! I think about $1,500
I think your prices better reflect body work costs than other estimates on this thread. I used to work in a body shop in High School and the amount of hours it takes to do a professional job in the $60-$80 an hour rate means there's no way someone will do it for under $2000 and if they do it won't look like brand new... Bodywork takes lots of hours...
