Is that a reasonable estimate?

That's from kenny hawkins. They said it would cost more, but since I'm a repeat customer, I would get a discount.

This seems a tad high, but I'm not a body guy. Can anyone with body shop experience tell me if they are ripping me/insurance off?

Note that I was not at fault and I am not paying for it. If there is another body shop that does good work and you would recommend, I'm down.

Also is Glasurit that good?

Seems a little high. I prepped a bumper once myself and got it painted and it was $300ish

if you are not paying for it and have had good luck with them in the past with their workmanship, I'd stick with them. $540 seems a bit high to repaint the front, but if they are doing the strip and prep work themselves, then it seems like an average price. You are probably looking at a good 3+ hours of stripping and prep work if there's body work to be done, then painting. 90% of the work is the actual prep work.

It's worth it if they do good work. Slightly high? Maybe.. but better than paint chipping in a year or it looking like shit

Are you seriously going to Kenny Hawkins after all the bad reviews people in here have given and after they were on the news for how much they suck?

I can speak from personal experience on this one as they screwed up three of our cars.

front bumper strip? as in strip all the paint off your front bumper & then repaint the whole thing?

Note that I did not say they did good work.

got my car back from garner collision.

ean is a great guy.

work was top notch.

price was fair.

i only wish the rest of the car looked as good as the bumper does now.

i'm gonna have to save up some cash to repaint and restore the entire car.
