Auto body repair & detailing: repair rates, interior pieces, labor time


Question
i have a 97 ford escort zx2 2door coupe. i was on an icy road and a deer ran across the road i swerved to miss and did but did a 180 and hit the drivers side just below the back window it goes from the door line to the top of the fuel door just pushed in needs pulled out i was wondering how much it would cost to fix it i just got the car a week ago so i need help thank you

Answer
To just paint the quarter is around $250.00. There is almost no such thing as just pushing out the dent. If you can get to the area from behind, you still will have some labor time just to remove the interior pieces. I suggest that you try to get those pieces out yourself and work it. You could possibly have as much money repairing the panel as you paid for the car.
