Bodywork on minivan. Is this a legit price?

Situation: driver side door on 2005 Toyota Sienna makes two loud metallic popping sounds when it opens.
Took it to the dealership collision shop and the said that a weld inside of the door needs to be redone. Would cost $500+.
I took it to a local bodywork shop and they quoted me 5 hours labor to take the door off,take the door a apart, do the weld and refinish/paint surfaces. Total cost $218.
Sounds decent...what says the OT?

$218 sounds too good to be true.

Get it fixed, if the sounds are gone, pay the man.

Thanks fellas. I actually didn't think of it from the angle of being too good. It comes out to $40/hr if he's not charging me for parts/shop fees, so I guess that is a pretty good deal.
It didn't seem shady and they apparently do a lot of business (their garage was packed) so I'll get 'er done. Thanks again!

Sounds like a good deal. It's a 10 year old minivan, not an exotic car. A busy body shop probably made the same repair a dozen Toyota Siennas this year.
Make sure the sounds are gone and the paint/trim matches and you are good.

$44 dollars an hour is cheap. JUmp on that.

I would fully expect them to pry the door off with a crowbar, paint it with a can of Krylon, and reattach it with a nail gun for that price.

If it's in Baton Rouge, do you mind sharing what shop is doing this for $200?
I might send them some business.
