Default HELP!!! estimate on collision repair.. please!

I need to know how much this will cost to fix.. it is a dent 3-4" in diameter and the paint is not severely scratched, the collision knocked the bumper out of place so it is not aligned

any estimate from any person would be great, it would be perfect if someone in the collision repair business could give me a detailed estimate

please help, I need to talk to the guy who hit me and propose a price at 730PM

Thanks!

go to a body shop and get an estimate. Its accurate and free.

I would guess no less than $500.

I just noticed that you don't have the same ruber molding that I do. (on the edge of the wheel well. )

You can't give him a good est. without taking it to a body shop. give him a new deadline and visit 3 different body shops.

I'm hardly in the business, so take this with a grain of salt, but I would imagine that a dent right along that raised edge on the fender might be hard to repair. I don't know for certain, buy you might be looking at replacing the panel and repainting. If I had to guess, it would cost upwards of $1400.

Again, I'm just guessing so take it for what its worth.
