how much do you think it will cost to repair a car dent?
I bumped in to my friend’s mailbox, as well as it pennyless the red lens off of my behind light; however the tuber still works. The mailbox additionally dented the side of my automobile right upon top of the tire as well as left the small hole upon my behind newcomer side door. There is additionally the blemish from the passenger’s doorway hoop to where the hole is upon top of the tire. Does anybody have the severe thought of how most this could price to repair?
Between $500 and $1000… IF YOU ARE LUCKY

LikeDislikeCatherine,you will find a wide variety of prices as you take it from one shop to another.This is a time when it will really help to get several estimates and don’t let one shop know you already have a price from somewhere else.

LikeDislikeThe number of parts and body panels involved will be making a professional repair expensive. I would estimate between $1000-1500 due to the bodyshop having to sand down and repaint the entire right quarterpanel (“rear fender”) and rear passenger door. The retail cost of a replacement tail light is probably $200-300 because the lens can usually not be replaced by itself (would be included in the above estimate).
Now, if you can live with a small dent in your car, you can just replace the tail light. For cheaper prices check ebay by typing in the ebay search box the model of your car and ‘tail light’. They can often be purchased there for half the dealer’s price. (Use PayPal for secure payments, successful disputes in case of product fraud and to protect your ID data such as credit card number and SSN) I would also recommend to purchase a touch-up paint pen (dealership or aftermarket auto supply store) and cover up any scratches with the paint to prevent the formation of sheet metal-eating rust. Some of the dented area may be accessible from the inside of the trunk. You can try pounding out parts of the dent using a small rubber mallet (rubber hammer) and a piece of wood. Be very cautious with pounding out sheet metal, it is easily overdone and would then look like an ugly bump or bubble, worse than the original dent.
