Rear Quarter Panel Respray Cost?

Steep, but it probably also includes courtesy car hire etc. as well as the cost to do the repainting. Either way your dad's company is trying to shaft him.

£700 sounds steep for a single panel, non-filler repair with a blend into the adjacent panel!

Either someone has added a lot of 'tax' to that, or the owner has had some other work done at the same time and they've silently stuck it on the same bill.

Would be the most likely situation. I bet the owner expected the company to let insurance handle it.

exactly what I was thinking or they have a "mate" that works at the body shop ... infact I don't think they have any evidence apart from the invoice of any repairs ... like I have said, his boss isn't interested.

Old man was back at work today and he's agree his boss will pay the invoice and my old man will pay so much a month until the invoice is cleared.

Stupid I know, I should have known he would pay as he never stands his ground.

wouldn't of thought there was a courtesy car, looking on google maps it looks a small bodyshop on an industrial estate.

When I had a courtesy car couple of years ago from nationwide repairs I was charged £80 for 4 days + £250 deposit which was refunded. (non insurance)

Don't let him accept that. He is absolutely not liable for it. The company is. The boss should have insurance.

I got quoted £1000 for a mk1 MX-5 bumper so not that steep imo!

That is a shocking amount. I had my whole car done bar one panel and it cost less. Granted I did all the prep and stripped the front and rear bumpers. Last time before the full job when I had just the bumper done and about a year back it was 90 quid for the front pu delivered to body shop with prep already done.

This is also a little place in a industrial estate who are well respected around here, I guessed they might be good when I had to wait on a 4 month waiting list.

1k for a mx5 front bumper... you clearly didn't want the work.

I meant I got quoted £1k! It was like you say they didn't want the job, it was going through insurance. Ended up writing off the car for it, sigh!
