Body and fender guys

Dang woman drivers!!!!

Can one of you body and fender guys give me a ballpark figure of what it would cost to fix this.
Hope the pictures show the damage well enough for you to see it.
It's a Honda odyssey if that makes a difference.
Thanks.

Call Dent Doctor or see if you can find a PDR (paintless dent repair) technician they can probably make it 90% or better for about 1/2 the price

You aren't going to paintless dent repair that, too much damage near the edges. Paintless repair works best when the dent is in open metal. I have no idea of cost, but I would recommend getting it repaired the best you can. An Odyssey has too much value to get it done halfway.

There's no way I'd try to estimate that just from photos. Too many variables. What inner panels are there? Are they damaged? What are the inner panels made of? Is there any insulation involved? Anything inside the panel that would catch fire if studs are spot welded onto the panel to pull the dent out? What's the paint code? Paint price varies greatly, depending on the color, and blue is one of the higher priced colors.

I had a lady ask me to pull a small dent out of the lower part of the front passenger door on an Odyssey several years ago. Looked simple enough, spot weld a few studs, pop the dent out, use a bit of filler to level the panel, and we're home free.

Then questions arose. What's inside the door that may catch fire or damage insulation when studs are spot welded? Best pull the inner upholstery panel to see what's inside the door. Guess what? The door contained a side-impact air bag. Would working on the door deploy the air bag? Could the air bag system be disabled for working on the door? At that point, I decided I didn't want any part of it and handed the lady off to a friendly competitor who was more fearless about working around air bags. The lady wound up moving to California without having the door fixed before she left.

Somebody might give an estimate just by looking at the photos, but not me.

Assuming the rear bumper facia isn't touched (doesn't appear to be) and the slider door isn't either, I would guestimate around the $ 1100 mark. No air bag or insulation in that van 1/4 pnl. Make sure whoever does it allows for color blending into the slider door as it won't match otherwise.

I'd love to have that dent in one of my trucks! Lol, iv always said ill take a dent over the rust. Will prolly cost more than you would think. Good luck.

My wife just put a nice scratch in the rear fender of her new truck and the cost to just feather it out and paint the fender was $750 bucks!!!!! Ouch, I called my insurance co and we have a $500 deductible so they would pay the extra $250...BUT we would then be charged extra on our policy for three years and that would add up to $1500....THAT how the ins companies make money.....

We bought a low mile,pristine'99 Monte Carlo that,later on,a neighbor backed into. Since the car was real nice,I wanted it fixed right.They did not want to use their insurance until I got the estimates.But anyway,every time the car got damaged,I sent it to the bodyshop.That car was like deer magnet,the last one totaled it; thank goodness for comprehensive coverage.The next car,an'02 Intrepid, had dents or scratches on all 4 corners.Guess what-nothing has ever happened to it.Every nice thing I ever had got damaged or scratched.The moral: dent it up and never worry-It's easier anyway.Mark

Nothing is cheap anymore.
My guesstimate from the picture would be $1983.77 + tax.

Things can be deceiving, much like your reflection in the third photo.
Looks like someone wearing a black dress with white nylons and pointy toed high heels.
Time I shut the computer off and go feed the cows.

Not an expert, but my guess would be $2500

Heck, if I could get $2500 for that I might get back into the business! 10 hrs plus aprox. $400 materials.....oh plus tax , hazardous waste removal , employee training allowance and any other expences some of the rip-off artists find to throw in.

I was driving my wife car in Best buy parking lot. A lady ran into me, I had the rideway. She said she would pay to get my car fix. She had insurance to fix it. I went to my body shop got it fix. $1950. 2006 G M Mercury. Her insurance furnish me A car to drive while it was in the shop.
