Bumper repair price

[Leo182]

Evening all.

I've been quoted £360 to get it sorted by a bodyshop near me , take 3 days apparently! and £120 by a mobile who have a decent rep, is that about right?

It is not me who will be paying, person who went into the car - his fault wants to settle away from insurance but I doubt he thinks it costs this much!

Thoughts?



Ta.

Go with the proper bodyshop.

The mobile guy is just a patch, you'll get what you pay for.

True, just reckon the guy will say not paying that! but then again depends on his excess I suppose!

360 seems a lot, try a few more bodyshops

Buy another bumper

Update.

Spoke to the guy yesterday and he 'offered' me £300 to which I explained the quotes back to him! He asked me to then ring his Wife tomorrow (today)

Ok, so I spoke to the Wife and explained the situation again and she was rather understanding to my surprise and is paying the £460 on Friday.

ZachB, I did think about this but decided against it.
