Any mechanics?

Need to get repairs done to a corsa (i know my insurance is 3000,cant afford much else) all one side being scratched and a bit dented in so needs panel beating as well. Plus the back bumpers being cracked-anyone get some sort of similar work ever done?
Trying to get quotes off garages but they're all up the walls at the moment and all of them want 50 quid to do it too-chancers!

Maybe if you watch Men & Motors you'll be able to Do It Yourself!! :D

50 quid sounds good to me! Same as anything else, it's labour that costs rather than parts - touch up and panel work is labour intensive.

Depends what time you watch Men & Motors at :D

[$Leon$]

try small panel beaters (2 or 3 fellas workin out of a glorified shed) best chance of gettin it done cheaper.
don't no any in the cork area but just look up phone book and ask around

im living in dublin these days, so prob get one around here. im not overly worried about price, cos was hit by a drunken driver so he's footing the bill. give wanna get a general estimate.
Does anyone know if just gettin the scratched side resprayed-would that look off or would it be best to get the whole lot resprayed?

Well go to a proper garage then, don't be píssing around taking chances. Take it to a dealer if he's footing the bill.

Well he'll have to wait until the dealer can see it - the dealer will be more expensive than a normal garage.
