Auto body repair & detailing: Body Work, chrysler sebring, quarter panel


Question
My daughter was in a car accident yesterday.  The 1997 Chrysler Sebring was hit on the passenger side rear tire.  I know the cost to fix the spindle for the tire, but the quarter panel has a 3 foot dent across it.  Worse case - what would be an estimate to fix the car with putting a new quarter panel and painting it.  I know there could be other things wrong that I cannot see, but we are just trying to get a ball part number to see if we want to take the time and money to fix the car.  It is a good car.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

Answer
DEBBIE....CAN'T ASSESS THE DAMAGE UNTIL IT IS VIEWED....YOU MAY BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE QUARTER AND THAT WOULD BE ANYWHERE S FROM $700 AND UP.IF THE QUARTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED....$1200 AND UP.
MY BEST ADVICE WOULD BE TO STOP BY A BODY SHOP AND GET A WRITTEN ESTIMATE IF THE CAR IS DRIVABLE.
