I need:
- new front bumper
- new emblem
- new reflector =>this little light in a bumper
- new washer reservoir
- new front shield => plastic around the wheel

The body shop estimated this to be $1k.

Parts = $469.79
Body labor = 3.7h x $46 = $170.20
Paint labor = 4.4h x $46 = $202.40
Sublet/Misc = $20.

Is this a good deal? The shop is suposed to be very good - they do competition cars.

 

Sounds pretty cheap to me, $46/hr for labor is a good deal, but sounds like it might not be top notch.

 

that sounds pretty cheap to me if we are talking about brand new parts. given I haven't priced out any of those parts. brand new factory parts are never cheap so if you do go with them I'd make sure they give you an itemized list and reciept for all the parts. most body shops won't bother to replace body parts if they can be made to look new again or they may just buy refurbished/used parts so if they are telling you they are going to replace those items with new ones, make sure you get it in writing.

 

i think the bumper comes pre painted.. if it does.. then all the shop needs to do it clear coat.. so that should save some time off of paint..emblem i would recomend aftermarket but thats up to you.. otherwire its a good deal...

 

The bumpper does not come pre-painted. The shop has to do that themselves. It MAY come primered, but def. not with color applied.

The price you got seems pretty low to me.
