There was a fender bender and what needs to be replaced or fixed is the driver side fender, fender bracket, and headlight. I have a picture and the headlight did not look broken, but they said that it was on the inside. I was told that if they fix it, it will still need to be repainted. Can you give me an estimate of how much this could possibly cost?

Body work can be tricky. Due to the nature of crashes and damage that is not immediately seen. Everything there is either going to need to be replaced and repainted or pulled flat and repainted. It is going to be pricey anyway you look at it and it is going to very between which body guy you take it to. You should just shop around and find the best price. I am sorry there really is no definitive answer.

The fender is about forty dollars, the headlight another forty dollar and, the front bumper about seventy dollars. So there is $150.00 before the work is even started or anything is even painted. I would say about $600.00 if I had to take a wild guess. But again I am only guessing. The best thing to do is call around or go to the shops in question and get a bunch of quotes. No harm in getting estimates.
