Oh my God, Dude!

So I hired a new guy at work to head our ESPN Sports Radio Station. On his first day at work, I asked him if he wanted to go to lunch. We took his car and he... did this. Any esimate guesses? Yes that is a crease on the door.

Damn man that sucks sorry to see that. Anyway the new guy has insurance? Price...I would say anywhere from $500-$800, because i have a dent in my front fender the size of a baseball (and creased) and the body shop quoted me $600 .

Paint on a whole car is not cheap unless you can sand it down yourself. But body shops man...haha they can do amazing jobs. My brother got hit a week ago on the gas cap and the body shop repaired it in like 2 days. In short you wouldn't know he got hit, and he has a custom bronze orange like paint. They can match it up perfect.

nice thing is its not on the crease of the door, just on the flat part so that makes it easier to fix.
