Rented a parking space in Brooklyn and thought I had room turning onto the ramp exiting the garage. Railing swiped the side of the car. First day bringing it back and pretty annoyed about it.

Wanted to hear some opinions on how much people think this should be around to fix up. Dealership going to give me a quote from body shop but wanted to here some opinions here as well.

    All the $20k claims are insane and if that’s the case for NYC maybe get it repaired outside NYC. You can get the door for $800-$1000 used in mint condition,and OE they’re $1200. Bumper another $800 max and fender another $800-1000 max. Paint and Labor and you’re looking $10k max.

    People saying $20k must work for body shops in NYC and charge this ridiculous amount on the norm to ignorant people.

    In DFW this would cost around $8k at the highest end body shop. I’ve seen far worse done to Porsches and BMWs and nowhere near did it cost 20k for a deep scratch.
