Damage Repair Estimate? );

JCH · Jun 3, 2019

So I was stupid and going a bit too fast around a corner... turned the wheel and the car drifted into a side railing. Luckily it's a pretty deserted road and it was just me, and I'm okay, just really sucks how stupid I was. Also the passenger door doesn't open because of a dent on the right fender. Here are some pictures of the damage,

What's a good estimate cost to repair the damage?

3-4k?

easy fix most of the cost will be the paint

Based on my damage ($10K) I think you will be in for a lot more then $3K-$4K.

@JCH Post an update on what the adjuster says... I'm really curious if they'll need to replace the damaged panels or they can be "pulled" out. The front fender panel and front door looks the worse which, imho, will need to be replaced. Maybe the rear quarter panel, too. I'm curious about the front bumper too.

So TL; DR: If the panels don't need replacing, I'm guessing it shouldn't be more than $1,100. But if the panels get replaced then the cost will push north of $2,000 with parts, labor and re-paint.

Thanks to everyone for your input, I'm going to go to a few body shops today and get some estimates on the repair, and I'll update the thread when I can.

Front bumper, Front Passenger Quarter Panel, Fender Liner & Side Marker, Front Passenger wheel, Front Passenger Door, Rear Passenger door, Rear passenger Quarter Panel, Rear Passenger wheel & Rear bumper... Plus any suspension components that could have been knocked (and an alignment)...

That looks like a lot more than $3-4K... Glad you're ok - let us know what your body shop quotes you.

$5500

A Honda Profirst certified body shop quoted me $2850 cash to fix it. Replacing the side marker, fender, front door panel. Everything else is repair on existing panels.
