FTO AUSTRALIA

I'm having a really bad day, first I get locked out of my car now some dude decides to leave a dent on the side... Can someone give an estimate of how much this is going to cost so I can charge him?

from the picture looks like the door is dinted too, so, a few hours work to strip the door down and pull your interior out, and knock the dint out, maybe replace door skin or just repair, say about 8 hours work, at approx 88 an hour,
plus paint,
if you go to a smash repair, if you dont have a price by tuesday when i go to work ill ask my estimater,

just so happens i am a panel beater, haha

your looking about 800 - 1200 minimum id say through a business, cheaper if you got someone to do it privately, shame im too far away

That sux, hope it gets fixed sooooooooooon!
Did you receive the dent going to get a spare key cut?
or
Did the NRMA guy dent your car?
or
Should have left your keys locked in

your a panel beater? wtf why didnt you tell me earlier LOL

anyway, get the guy to claim his insurance easier, otherwise take it to a few shops nd get it quoted

Judgin on that photo there i cant say much - the question is, how far in is the door dinted? As in will the door skin need to be removed or is it only on the very lip of the door and to just be bent slightly back out?
Im not sure how hard it would be to access behind the rear quarter either, should be just popping off the rear panel in the back seat area and its pretty easy to get to there, theres two pretty big holes theyd be able to fit a tool in there to pop it out (judging by the fto im stripping) and hopefully they can just easily bog over it smoothly and slap some paint on.
The door looks as though it can be touched up with paint, and wont really need the whole door sprayed, however youll probably find youll wanna spray the whole rear quarter, blended at the rear pillar.
If you have to take the door skin off etc to get to the door dent you could probably save a fair bit of money taking it off and putting it back on yourself. (might be easier to get someone to put the window motor back in though but taking it out should be easy enough just need a 10 and 12mm socket and a phillips.)

Enough rambling - does f**king suck i feel for you - still gotta quote mine

.

And they probs wont go behind it, they might drill a hole and pull it out where they can and then bog it up.
