Re: SVX crumpled by a Jeep bumper, how bad?
I had a dent deeper than that and it was only about $400 to get it pulled, sanded, and repainted. I don't know what you guys are talking about...totaling the car over a small thing like that. Okay, the regulator, and other window junk is another 200 and labor. Up the estimate for the body work to $500 and it's still under $1000.
With that damage there, they're going to get a dent puller that puts small rivets in the panel to pull it out. Then, they'll putty the crap out of it, sand it down, and put a couple coats of paint and clearcoat on there. There's no metal that is severely creased and putty could be used to fill the rest of the small divots.
