Hi, i resecently reversed into this car, only in a carpark so its was not very hard. The damage was to the front bumper, headlight and wing. However, the owner of the car has given me a quote of £755.40, which i find a bit much. How much do you think it should cost?

Hi there,

often small dints can cost more than you think, if the bumper is to be removed the headlight will have to come out it's often the labour component that is the killer, I would ask for 3 quotes but don't be surprised if they are all around the same price.
