I have big dent in my rear fender...



I'm planning on getting my rockers line-x'd... but I need to get the dent out first...

Who knows a good body shop in San Diego, CA which is not overcharging, etc but does a good job?

You could ask your insurance company they would have a good idea who does a good job.

If it were me, and the damaged area would be covered up by the Line-X, I would probably do the work myself and use the money I saved to pay for the Line-X!!

If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, you might want to try and find a body shop that would do the basic panel repair without repainting the area, or look for a shop that does both body work and the Line-X. They might give you a discounted package deal.

Good luck.

I've got one of those to. Bumper and body work estimate was $2600. It doesn't bother me too much and I can wait until I visit my BIL who will do it for a lot less. Otherwise I'll throw some paint on it and leave it.

I will buy a replacement bumper aka. "Ninja-Stopper" e.g Buckstop...

So its more about the dent... and i guess after they fill it, etc they have to repaint the section too...
