Q: Not sure if this estimate is trustowrthy

asked by on December 13, 2016

Hi,

I recently got in a mini car accident with my friend where my car slid into his in the parking lot and left some dents on the front left hand side of his car. Now, his mom took his car to the body shop to get an estimate, and these were the results. I don't know much about the usual costs for these scenarios, so I don't know if I can trust this quote or not. tell me if you think this sounds like a normal or healthy price for such circumstance? The scenario on the estimates looked like this:

Type of car: 2015 Toyota Corolla S w/Continuously Variable Transmission.

Repairs: -Front Bumper

-Front Lamps -Fender -Front Door

ESTIMATE TOTALS: Parts-261.87 Body Labor-11.1 hrs(50.00/hr) Paint Labor-7.0hrs(50.00/hr Paint Supplies-7.0hrs(32.00/hr) "Miscellaneous" -73.00 Other Charges-5.00
