Car scratches - cost for repair? (Image)

[finlawler]

Hi all

Please see the attached image

A car reversed into me today causing light to deep scratches to rear right hand side of my Audi A1. There are no dents, thankfully.

I’m wondering how much this will cost to repair, if you had to estimate?

A smart repair on that will be somewhere around the £100 mark.

I would of said more than a £100. Worst case the bumper may need dropping away from rear quarter to carry out a decent prep job. The job is a smart repair if you can find the right man. I would of said £200 at least, for a half decent job.

As you rightly say,the dent in the quarter has pushed the bodyline down so the bumper will need pulling away and the edge of the quarter tapped up before prepping.
If you can get someone to do that for £100 I'd be surprised.
I'd charge £200.....and I'm cheap !

Update - I’ve been quoted £190, which i guess is a reasonable price!
