Let's play guess the repair estimate!

An elderly neighbor up the street took delivery of a new Camry on 9/30. A month later she got too close to something and scraped the passenger side rear door, slightly dinged the door sill, scratched the rocker cover, and gouged up the wheel. The door is pushed in some. AFAIK estimate did not include a new wheel. Guesses?

 

[andrew_j]

Based on daughters recent door damage from delivery truck in similar area (used door) $4.5k potentially $5k depending on wheel fix.

 

[LDB]

$8342

$4400. That's my guess. Lots of labor and painting and and and and. Depending on, some might just replace the whole door.

Edit: given labor rates, it might even be cheaper to replace the door than to prep, de-dentify the door, and paint. Depends on what a door skin costs nowadays.

A door shell on Toyota parts is about $750 for a new Camry. Assuming I looked right. Add in prep and paint and my gut would say $2k but every time I need something like this, or home repair, the last couple years things feel like price gouging. So I'm going to stick with $4400 lol

Plus, you're paying book rates on reusing all the door parts and all that remove and reinstall. So, essentially, you're paying once to remove and once to reinstall. $100-200/hr labor rate when the book might say an hour to remove a speaker will add up.

Insurance estimate: $2400-2600

You mean, "Insurance estimate TOTAL LOSS" or "your insurance is now cancelled"

4800 to 5200. I can't believe how pricey that stuff is. Really opened my eyes after my truck got wrecked.

In the infamous words of John Candy, that’ll buff right out! A small can of turtle wax rubbing compound, couple shop rags, couple squirts of nu finish done……20 bucks tops, excluding 30 minutes of labor!

 

[Racer4]

I am with others $4,500 to 5,500.

 

[Rand]

7000bucks for 2 door skins, a remanufactuered wheel
and a fender(maybe rocker too).. on a 2020 elantra.

so ... prices are up about 25% I'd say 5k

It always amazes me how many people have horrible depth perception on the passenger side. Driving around with the rims and tires all scuffed up because they use curbs like bowling lane bumpers.

 

[The Critic]

Looks like some damage to the quarter, full side will need to be painted for blending including the rear bumper, etc. I'm guessing $8k ballpark.

 

[spasm3]

6k without wheel. $6500 with new wheel.

 

[Aredeeem]

I’ll say more than 5k less than 6k. By the way, damage such as this with an elderly driver is a red flag for considering that awkward conversation about turning in the keys. Like everything else it starts small and is not addressed until it becomes an issue.

 

[atikovi]

The place I go to would straighten the door and dogleg for $850. No way would I want them to replace the door skin and quarter on a new car just for that.

If you bring it Mexico, it is probably $500.
