good afternoon boys!
thanks for all your advice and help! the body shop had my car for a week. he seems quite honest, recommended by many people i know, has been in business since 1977. i told him to search out and fix any rust. he found rust on all four doors, at the bottom. on one, it also went up the side. both rear wheel wells, and the brackets that hold the rear bumper. he removed the brackets, sand blasted them, paint and replace. he took lots of photos, of the car with the doors being painted, bumper off, car totally covered! LOTS of work. parts and paint were around $200
total bill was $964. when i saw the photos, i was quite convinced he did a very thorough job, and my car will last a long ,long time.
2008 cadillac DTS, 55,000 original miles. in GREAT shape.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? my take on it, is the car is paid for, the car payment was $525, so paying $1,000 ONCE for fix it is very good. i LOVE my car and want to keep it long term
THANKS GUYS! and tell me what you think!
