Subject: Hail damage - 2nd quote

Date: 	Tue, 1 Apr 1997 17:17:54 -0500



Hello to all,

I just got a second quote on the repair of my hail damage. A local

dealership (chevy) quoted replacing the hood and trunk lid. They said

they would try to pull the dents out of the fenders and doors but may

have to use some filler (bondo I presume) then repainting the whole

car...  I like the idea of having the hood and trunk lid replaced but am

not too hip to the idea of using bondo on my baby or of having the whole

thing repainted. I am currently trying to negotiate with State Farm to

have the dealer do the hood and trunk lid replace but letting a dentless

place fix the doors and fenders. Do you folks this seems like the right

way to go or should I let them repaint the whole thing just to be sure

everything matches up. I do have some healthy scratches and door dings

that they said they would fix by doing the total paint operation. 



Your replies are appreciated.
