DB It's one of the first questions most people ask after damaging their car, and it's a fair one, but there's no single published price that applies to every repair. Bodywork costs vary enormously depending on the specific damage involved.
What affects the price
- The size and depth of the damage
- Which panel or component is affected
- Whether the panel can be repaired or needs replacing
- Whether paintwork needs colour matching and blending
- The repair technique required, such as PDR versus conventional repair
- Whether parts, such as headlight units or mirror assemblies, need replacing
- Whether the damage extends to more than one panel
Why a fixed price list wouldn't work
A light scuff on a bumper is a very different job to accident damage spanning several panels. Quoting a single price for all bodywork work would either overcharge simple jobs or undercharge complex ones, so instead the cost is worked out after assessing what's actually happened to your vehicle.
Getting an accurate figure
The most reliable way to find out what your repair will cost is to bring the vehicle to DB Autos for an assessment. We'll look at the damage, explain the options, and give you a clear picture of what's involved before any work goes ahead. Call 01782 844320 to arrange an assessment.
