Auto Body Repair

If your car has suffered damages from an accident or a fender-bender, auto body repair near me is what it takes to restore its appearance and functionality. Whether it’s for a dent removal, full repainting, or frame alignment, the reliable repairs shop ensures your vehicle gets the best care.

How long does the car repainting take?

Repainting a vehicle is one of the most common auto body repair services. The time it takes to complete the process varies but some general time estimates are 1-2 days for minor touch-ups, 2-3 days per partial panel repainting and 3-7 days for full car repaint. All of this depends on several factors, such as:

1. Extent of damage: If there are any deep scratches or rust, additional preparation is needed before we apply the new paint.
2. Type of paint: Some high-quality paints require multiple layers and have longer drying times.
3. Weather conditions: External weather conditions, such as temperature and humidity can affect how quickly the paint dries.
4. Shop workload: As usual, the busier the shop is, the longer the wait times might be.

If you’re looking for a fast solution, mobile services might be an option for small paint jobs and touch-ups.

Auto body repair cost: What to expect?

The cost of the repairs can vary but here are some estimates that could help you budget better:

1. Dent and scratch removal

Let’s get started with dents and scratches. Those are the most frequent issues you’ll need auto body repair for. After all, they can arise not only from incidents but from pretty much everything on the road. They are also some of the easiest repair tasks that could be performed by mobile technicians, too. But let’s get a rough breakdown of the cost:

• Minor dents: $50 – $500 per dent.
• Bigger scratches: $500 – $1000.
• Large dents: over $1,000.

1. Bumper issues

Now we go towards some bigger issues that are still on the relatively lower price range. Those are:

• Small bumper scratches: $50 – $600
• Bumper cracks: $300 – $500
• Full bumper replacement: $300 – $1,600

1. Frame and structural problems and solutions

Any frame and structural problems require proper and timely repair because they affect not only the aesthetics of the car but its safety, too. So, even though frame straightening, for instance, goes at about $1,500 to $5,000, it’s better to take care of such issues sooner rather than later.

1. Painting and repainting

The cost of painting can vary quite a lot. After all, it depends on the car’s brand and model, on how many hours will the process take, how long does the paint dry and the number of layers required. Of course, the quality and color of the paint matter, too. But let’s see some general estimates:

• Minor touch-ups: $300 – $1,000
• Full car repaints (standard quality): $1,500 – $3,500
• Full car repaints (premium quality): $3,500 – $10,000+

The final cost may be different, depending on multiple factors. As usual, the make of the car matters quite a lot, mostly due to the parts and how much their price varies. Reach out to us for a quote and we can give you a better estimate once we check out your car and see what the issue is.
