Body Shop Recs - Estimate? Fender damage + paint scuffing

audichick · 10-24-2011, 11:11 AM

I just bought a used a6 and am now looking for estimates to repair the fender damage and paint scuffs. I'm in Minnesota.

Anyone have any recommendations or cost you think it could be? Thanks!

Ms. Chick, welcome aboard!

I think if you go around and get a few estimates that you'll see a big spread in prices. I suspect some shops might attack something like that for $1000 with painting two panels (your foto is too dark, I can't really gage the extent of the damage), while the Audi dealer shop might be twice that.

I don't know that there is such a thing as "cheap bodywork + painting" today, and I don't know what level of perfection you expect on a 10 yr old car.
