Question
i drive a 1997 honda crv and a few weeks ago i backed up into a small sign that
made some damage to my back door/trunk. i now cannot seem to open my
trunk door and the back door is dented. Im wondering what is the best advice as
to repairing it. And how much do new car doors on my car model would cost.
thanks!

Answer
V......THE BEST ADVICE THAT I CAN GIVE YOU IS TO RUN BY A COLLISION REPAIR SHOP AND GET AN ESTIMATE....IF THEY CAN REPAIR IT THEY WILL LET YOU KNOW....SOUNDS LIKE U NEED A NEW GATE. THE JOB WOULD RUN ABOUT 1300-1500 DOLLARS. JUST A GUESS AS I DO NOT HAVE ESTIMATING SOFTWARE
AVAILABLE.
