In need of bodyshop hookup
« on: 07:13AM 05/25/2004 »
I made the mistake of backing up a little close to a fence last week.  I put two little dents in my back bumper from the chain link that crossed over the post.  Anyway, I am in need of a little bit of body work.  We are talking about minor stuff here.  If anybody knows someone who does this kind of stuff and wouldn't bend me over, then please let me know about it.  I don't want to spend a couple hundred bucks to get this fixed like the shop I went to yesterday wanted to charge.  I think they are smoking crack because the damage isn't that bad.  Some sanding and touch up is what it needs, but its a bit too large of an area for me to want to work on.  Give me a shout if you know anybody who can do this kind of thing.  :)

Where is that at?  Maybe you could ask him if he could hook me up a bit.  I took it to a shop in Bountiful and they wanted to rape me on it.  I'm trying to get this fixed for less than the $350 that they quoted me.  This is really minor damage here and I'm not paying someone for 3.5 hours of painting time on it.  That is just dragging it out if you ask me.  lol  

Any chance you could put in a good word for me?  I'd like to check the place out and bring my car by so that he can see it.  I could take a picture and post it real quick if you wanted something to show him.

which shop did you take it to in bountiful? i took my car to get a quote at three different places here and they all wanted $700+ just to pull out a dent and paint it. they all wanted to paint over at least 60% of my car just to fix a scratched/dented quarter panel.

if i were you i'd just sand it down, put some puddy over it and have somone paint it.

I could do that.....  but you have no idea how anal I am about my car.  The damage would be easy to live with if I were anybody else.  I can't sleep at night if I know my car is in the garage and its dirty.  I stress about putting it in a parking lot for fear that a bird might crap on it.  I'm an obsessive compulsive detailer and this damage is driving me nuts.  It drives me batty as it is knowing that I caused the damage.  It would be even worse if I tried to fix it and f u c k e d it up even more.  I would rather pay someone to fix this properly.  I'm fine with touch up and scratch removal stuff, but this is a little more severe than that.  Its not major body work, but its beyond what I feel comfortable dealing with.
