Default went to the dealer and independent body shop for estimates on damage

the dealer quoted me at 1200 including labor, parts, service etc. They basically told me they were going to take the two panels out and repair it and that it wasn't that bad of damage

the independent body shop told me that, why not just replace the bumper..it's only 400 dollars, and they quoted me at 1000

so i guess im going with the 1000 with the new rear bumper, side panel is an easy fix, they both say

i have a post below with pictures

Default that's why im getting the new bumper and the panel is a difference

of 50 dollars to 600, and its very minor, think i can live, but if i had the money and time, def agree with JD

Default $200.00 in the pocket

Turn in the $1200.00 quote and get it fixed for $1000.00.
