Before I left for the cruise I'm on I got three estimates on some work I wanted done. Since I already have scratches on my front right bumper and a crushed tailgate, (long story I'd prefer not to discuss) I got estimates for just the shaving and shaving plus the bodywork from all three shops. Two shops were local, and on my insurance policy (State Farm). The third was a place that does mostly Porsches and other high end cars....I was told by a friend that they were the best.
-1st place: Body work: 550. Body work + shaving: 1250. Just shaving: 300 per bumper. I eventually got them down to $1000 for all of the work.
-2nd place: Body work: 1025. Body work + shaving: 1550. Just shaving: ?.
-3rd place (Porsche place): Body work: 1200. Body work + shaving: 1500. Just shaving: wouldn't do just shaving. Said they'd hook me up if they were painting already.

Ouch. Well.....I think I may wait on this and do my wheels first.....it kills me driving around with scratches and a dented in hatch. ::sobs:: I think I'll be going to shop #1 though when I do!
