Due to a multitude of variables, collision repair and repainting costs can vary extensively-and many folks have no idea what that range of cost can be.  Here's are some basics, assuming that you want complete and "like-new" repair & repainting:

• Simply repainting any one panel (e.g. bumper or fender) starts at over $400, not including any necessary bodywork, dismantling, or detrimming.
• A bumper scratch starts around $700, and can easily exceed $1000
• The national average insurance claim for collision repair on a late-model vehicle is $4439, the average for all vehicles is $3144.
• The average customer pay ticket at our shop is $775

Below are some photo examples that may give you a better idea, but remember that higher-end vehicles are more complicated (and more expensive) to repair than others.  Sometimes, repair costs even surprise us!
