need a good and cheap body shop in gta
« on: July 14, 2008, 09:47:26 am »
I need to fix a dent a moron made to my car over the weekend (don't know his identity) so I'm looking for a cheap but good quality body shop. Anyone can help with a name or address?
Any ideea how much would it cost the fix for the dent? It can be viewed at the following web address:  browse.to/mydent  (you need to copy and paste it into your web browser-sorry)
Thanks in advance

I'm no appraiser, but that looks like eight-hundred to a thousand-dollars to fix. The same thing happened to me in a mall parking lot in '02 that resulted in over $600 in damage, I imagine it costs a lot more now. As long as your insurance company doesn't penalize you and your deductible isn't too high, that might be the way to go.

You can find a cheap body shop or a good one, your choice.

Let's hope the @sshole hit-and-runner did even more damage to his/her/it's own vehicle.  >:D :cp2:

The other ugly part is that my insurance deductible is one thousand dollars....The car is a lease and if I return it I have to fix it before the term ends (2 more years to go)...

You might just try one of those "remove-a-dent" places.......Have them pull the dent, then they have refer you to someone to touch up the paint....?

Had a dent with chipped/cracked paint myself before that was quoted 450 to 600 to fix at one of the regular body shops.

Your best bet is to go with one of the Chinese shops that charges less then a place that usually work with insurance claims.

My result was ok but if you know where the paint was redone you can see a slight difference in bright sunlight. The plus side is that it only cost 250. I can PM you the number of the place I used and a suggestion of another place by a friend after I complained about the slight color mismatch. The are both in Markham though so not sure how far that is for you.

Yes, please send me the shop phone number. I myself got a quote from Don Howson's preferred body shop: close to $800!!!  No way that I'm going to pay that money! I'll shop around for a while, the car is a lease and the term is in 2 years from now so I need to fix it anyway if I will return it after the lease expires.
Thanks in advance and to anyone who provides a good lead.
