Had an extremely minor scrape on my car. Backed into a utility trailer.

Got three estimates and they are all $1500-$2000! They all said it’s a one day job. No parts, just labor and paint.

Any recs on someone a little more reasonable? TIA

There's a guy that runs a shop on Highland right outside of the North Gates. I'm not sure if he's still there, but he does decent work for cheap. The shop's name is under Will and James in my phone and I went to them probably 8 years ago, so take that for what it's worth. He fixed a rear quarter panel and bumper for $800 painted. I supplied a new bumper, but he banged out the quarter panel, bondo'ed and painted for the $800.

That’s about right on the estimate. Body shops are not cheap.

Priority in plaquemine. Not anywhere else. I've done custom colors. The desler. J and s in Addis. And a few others. The only time I didnt have to bring it back was priority in plaquemine. Not br or gonzales.

Cavin's is the best hands down, but you will pay for it.

Whatever you do avoid Owen's like the plague, that place does the worst work Ive ever seen.

I also highly recommend these guys. I drive a Chevy, so I haven't been over there in a very long time, but the times I have used them in the past they always did great work at a reasonable price.

They are solid. Also Southern Collision on Siegen has done good work on the wife's car everytime she's wrecked it

I can attest to the good work at Southern. My GF brought her car there and she had a pleasant experience.
