I have a 93 Trans Am that was barely hit in the front end but now it is out of line about a 1/2 inch. The company gave me a estimate of $3100 to fix and repaint the whole car. For the $3100 I supposedly get to inspect the car prior to painting to prove the body work is completed to my standards. Do you guys think that is a good deal?

Thats a good deal. Look down a few at my Dad's MCSS. He had his done for around $3200. I say go for it. Look at thier other work though before hand to see if they do a good job or not. Thats what we did. Found a few people that had thiers done at the same shop we went too and we were satisfied. Good Luck!

i cant find a shop that will paint and repair around here...this sucks. But yea that is a real good deal man!

that's a fair deal if they do good work. we have a **** ton of auto body shops here in charlotte, NC and you would think they would be cheap due to so much competition but noooooope.

like Ntimid said earlier, find other work done by them or ask them to browse their shop and see if you like what they do. that's also really nice that they offered to allow you to look at the work before paint so you can actually see how they repaired it. sounds like an honest shop.

I looked at a ten cars they worked on and they all looked really nice. They are working on a 67 mustang and it was really nice as well. I just did not know if that was a good price or not. Thanks guys. I will post pics of before and after.

Down where I live that would be too much. A good full paint job from a good shop I know will cost about $2,000. That of course just for repainting a car not doing body work from a collision or something.

thats not too bad, id go to the shop and ask for pics of examples of fixed cars. Also ask around I am sure the locals have used them too.

what are they excatly doin, repairing the accident, and just a repaint with no r&i work just masking everything off, or are they doin the accident damage and doing all the r&i work, fixing all other dents,chips, scratches, and then repainting the whole car for said price
if your answer is yes then slap my *** call me suzie thats cheap

I agree! Most shops charge around $85/hour for labor. So paint, supplies and labor for $3100 is fairly inexpensive.

That sounds cheap. Im suing the ********* who fucked up my hood and front end (paint shop) and when I got quotes elsewhere, I was in the mid-high 5K range at a smaller shop. Higher end places were in the 10-15K range.

That's pretty good. I was once quoted $3300 to paint everything but the roof on an Escort and replace one fender and the bumper.

BTW, 1badchicken, is that your rank in the army or do you just like the pic?

at my shop body labor is 65, paint labor is 65, frame labor is 95, mechanical is 85

Inexpensive but that's a lot of nice parts for that much.

mine was 4k to align my front end and paint the ride. 3100 is pretty good.
