>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.
