Question
Where can I go to buy a rear quarter panel for my car. How much should it cost for someone to install it?

Answer
You ar elooking at about $1500.00 to replace a quarter on your car, give or take a couple hundred bucks. Don't try to cheat the body shop out of his profit on the parts, he does not make that much anyway. The ins. co. keep our labor rates down to about $45.00 an hour and the guy who changes your fan belt gets over $75.00 an hour. Who has the skills here?
