Question
I hit a car and am paying for the damage out of pocket. The damage was behind the rear wheel on the side fender. It was slightly dented in with paint transfer about a foot long. How much do you think this would cost?
JILLINA....IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE DAMAGES WITHOUT INSPECTING THE VEHICLE.
I WOULD ASK THE PERSON TO OBTAIN 2 ESTIMATES AND THEY SHOULD BE AROUND THE SAME.
A ROUGH GUESS WOULD BE TO EXPECT AN ESTIMATE TO BE $600.00 +.
BY HAVING 2 ESTIMATES YOU SHOULD HAVE A CLOSER IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT.
GOOD LUCK
