Some years ago a car slowly backed into my passenger side quarter panel denting it in a good bit. This happened a week after a cab was trying to make a 34 point turn on a very narrow street and tapped the front drivers side corner of the car. Needless to say it was a bad week. I am finally in a position to proceed with getting these dents fixed. I have read around the forums and it sounds like Scott Yeaman is pretty highly recommended in my area (I live in San Francisco). So that is awesome, I was just wondering if anyone had any rough estimate / guess of what this kind of work is going to cost. Not looking for anything specific, just rough guesses.
Here are some pics (sorry, this was at night, so the images are a little blown out, but should get the idea across). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh4.googleusercontent.com-9037-1339569272.1.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh6.googleusercontent.com-9037-1339569273.2.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh5.googleusercontent.com-9037-1339569273.3.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh3.googleusercontent.com-9037-1339569273.4.JPG) and here is the front. I am going to deal with replacing the rubber above the bumper on my own. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh5.googleusercontent.com-9037-1339569273.5.JPG) Its really a small dent, but will require a little pulling, I have noticed the TS lens is very slightly bowed. I know this is a broad question, and will vary from shop to shop. I am going to get some quality pictures together in daylight and get them down to Yeaman for a more proper estimate...just wanted to get a sense of what I am going to be looking at. Thanks again. PS: Watch out for LA drivers. Sheesh. |

Since your in LA, check out Venice Beach Auto Body. They are next Otto's, they are very familiar with 914's. They did my steel flairs.
