Some kid in my class backed his truck up into my car...and i gotta get it fixed now

we'd rather not go to insurance cuz its not terrible but i dont know how much it would cost to repair. I have a friend at a body shop, but i dont know if he can really hook me up with a great deal since its not his shop or anything

the bumper is pretty much undamaged except for a paint scuff or two, but the fender is pushed in pretty good right over the side marker and theres a point near the top of the fender


what do you guys think this is gonna run me?

It would probably cost you around $600 for that. I'm not sure what kind of discounts the body shop gets but this is around what you will be paying.

seeings how the front bumper needs work and painted...its the perfect time to add a body kit (even if its just hte front)

I would say in the range of $500 - $750 from a good body shop

wow.... i found a place that sells primed fender for 135....i think im gonna take that and just get it painted... the bumper actually isnt damaged at all, it just needs a bit out paint

hopefully this route will be a lot cheaper than thoes 500+ estimates....

I am a licensed insurance appraiser and work at a shop in CT. I would look for a used fender in the same color and just bolt it on if I were you. Then just have the bumper painted if it needs to be be. If you buy a new fender, you will have to blend into the door and do all of the R&Is on the door. It probably would cost more than what the others are quoting you at a good shop. Try searching on www.car-part.com for a fender.

The repair shouldn't exceed $500.
