I'm not going to find another Automatic with less than 60k on it for less than the cost of paint/repair. My car is only at 59k and change... and mechanically it's great.
Well your estimates are on par with what I was quoted by a few shops. The best quote I had gotten in Toronto was $2000 if I remove the trimghts myself...
So what would you fellas say to $1800? Now don't say it's scam/shady shop. The work they do is phenomenal. If you fellas remember that civic I was selling last year, it had been in a major accident, front and rear almost completely destroyed, side pretty bad as well... after 2 weeks the car looked MINT... almost completely brand new. Even my mechanic asked me what I was talking about when I said it was in an accident. These guys work wonders. $1800 is for everything...
Remove trim
Strip exisiting clear coat and paint
Pull dents
Fill areas requiring filling
grind out and repair rust
rust proofing to try and prevent further spread
roll rear fenders a little
2 coats primer
2 coats paint
2 coats clear (all for the full car minus engine bay)
Taxes in. Good deal?
