Is 600 bucks a fair price?
wow, 600 dollars for that. did u ask around? if i were u, i would ask around. i have a large dent on that same panel, cuz the previous owner lifted it up in the wrong area. my guy is cuttin it out and repainting it for less than 250. but im gettin wholesale prices, cuz my father is a dealer. maybe if u can find a friend who is a dealer to help u out.
but i think 600 is way too much. maybe something between 300-400 would be fair for retail. but i would definitely ask around and see other places

I think 600 sounds like a good deal. Since its silver its going to have to be blended in the door and taken back to the rear for it to match if you can even get it to match because of how metalic it is. Silver is one of the hardest colors to shoot.
I see 4 good dents there. You trying to tell me that $300 to repair, prep, and paint and clear 4 dents and blend it in with materials included is the right price?? Maybe if you do it yourself. I don't know where you guys are getting your price quotes from but they must not be in business to make money. Think $50/ hour shop time. It adds up quick.

idk bout dry ice but i heard its gotta be like 100F outside and then u take ice cold ice to it and it should pop out.. i cant imagine it happening but i read it in a "how to take care of ur car" book.
I know a dent doctor that did the dents at a cadillac dealership did it for $75 a dent.. When he got done with it you could never tell a dent was their and he doesnt do bondo or anything just a lil tool.. Pretty cool to watch him do it bc he only takes bout 5 min a dent.

yeah i think 600 dollars is a ripoff. I had a huge dent in my quarter panel where someone ran into me and had to get the whole thiong repainted plus part of my door and it was only 750
At first I was gonna say now way 600 would be fair, but then after looking at it- there is indeed some work that needs to be done. It also depends on what exactly they are quoting your for... fixing the dents, bondo, repaint, hourly rate, etc. All those factors go in to fixing it, and therefore I feel $600 is fair- if you want it to be fixed right. That price sounds like a repaint/bondo deal. Good luck!
