What do you guys pay for body work where you live?
The $30k paint and panel alignment quote I got (keep in mind, it was a "quote" by seeing photos...) was from the Chicago area.
The guy said "ballpark on a typical job like that, it runs this....". And that's all I could ask for over the phone. I just didn't know.....and was super happy to have had that time on the phone with a "rod shop".
Why get someone in Chicago to look? They are half way between me and the car, and there's lots of good shops out there. Silly me for thinking competition brings out competitive prices in this industry.
i've been thinking of taking a class at the community college, and then doing it myself. i know in the Chicago area they are going to want 20K or more.
