Damage estimate

[RyanbabZ71]

Well took my truck to the bodyshop today

 

$258 to repair the dent and scratches.  They have to remove the bumper and fender flare.  They are only painting from the crease (under the z71 sticker) down.  Not a bad price.  Also they will have my truck for a day and a half.  Probably take it in thursday

 

My dad took my moms into the chevy dealer they want $409  :0

 

They found a dent we didnt see and the bumper needs to be painted.  I am taking it to the place i took my truck tomorrow.  Hopefully they can paint the bumper and do paintless dent removal under the tail light unlike the chevy dealer they were gonna pound it out and paint  :0

 

Oh well itll be fixed soon!

Well that is not to expensive to get your truck fixed.  Hopefully you can get you mom blazer fixed cheaper too.  I am guessing your Dad will be paying for getting it fixed??  Glad to hear your truck will be back to normal soon  

[RyanbabZ71]

yea he is paying the deductible is $250 so why bother with insurance.

right now would be the perfect time for ya to get a rollpan and shave your tailgate.

[RyanbabZ71]

Larry wouldnt look right with my tail light guards

Ryan that price isn't bad at all.  Be sure to take some more before and after pics.  Is your mom's blazer going to get done at the dealership or are you taking it in for an estimate where your getting your truck fixed?

im taking hers to where i took mine (local bodyshop).  He fixed my tailgate and even gave me a little discount which i thought was nice.  

 

Also he owns a newer gmc Z71 so he will take care of my truck

Ouch, well, it's not too bad.  One of the plumbers here took in his work truck to get fixed.  While at a jobsite some kids decided to use the side of it as part of a skateboard ramp, there's a ton of big dents all over it.  What kind of kids are these?!?!?!?!?!? This is a one ton Chevy van they desecrated, I could see if it was a ford.

 

But, sorry to hear about it, glad you don't have to take those a holes to court who malicously rammed into the side of your truck (If Ryan's parents are reading this, it was a joke, don't come after my truck too)

[RyanbabZ71]

second estimate $365.50

 

Guess it costs alot to paint plastic.  That flex stuff sucks

 

Mines going in thursday morning early  No truck till froday or saturday

[colosilverado]

Bummer. Being without your truck sucks! It's like your missing a loved one or something........I'm pathetic, I know!

Two weeks after I bought my '02 Tahoe Z71, some a**holes hit me with an egg while driving some friends to dinner.  When we got home, we washed it off as well as we could in the dark, but in the morning saw the damage - a white spot about the size of a baseball where the egg hit and etched the paint.

 

Cost to repair - $700!

Barry 2 wks to the day after i picked my truck up someone scratched and dented the side of the bed.  Total cost 4 days in the shop grand total of $850

[firecadet613]

Damn I guess I'm lucky then, nothing like that with my Blazer, and I've had it over 3 months, almost 4 now.  Ryan what part of the Blazer needs the repaint, is it that little plastic piece on the bottom behind the rear wheel?  Also is her bumper getting a complete repaint?
