What Do You Think?

I just had a quote from a local BMW garage for the body damage I sustained on the passenger door whilst being on the motorway.

The deal I got to repair the damage is £500 inc vat (plus a courtsey car for 2 days). The work carried out would be to respray the whole left side, inc front panel, door and rear quarter.

It can't be done by smart repair as I have already got someone to looked at it. I have not contacted any independent bodyshop yet but I would like to hear what is the consensus on the price quoted for the work being carried out. Also if anyone can recommend a bodyshop around Manchester/Liverpool area.

Thanks

Personally I think that's a good price from the dealers considering how much they will be painting.

£500 to paint the entire side if the car sounds cheap for a dealer.

Damn good price as I paid that amount for one side of Audi in local body shop.
And I must say, work done was rubbish.
