[QUOTE=UKXJ;3690082][QUOTE=Glasply;3690009]The Body Shop estimate does not look that bad from the standpoint of where you are located (isolated smaller community = Higher Prices), he is in business to make a profit.

That estimate is so bad, it's bordering on dishonest: a casual glance reveals suspect items (detailed by others) a more careful examination reveals it for what it is - a con!



Why? Even if the steering repairs are a bit more than a tie rod, it's all a simple nut'n'bolt job that shouldn't take more than another weekend. As far as I can see, paint aside, the most expensive part of the whole job is the wheel & tyre + allignment.
The headlight adjustment screws (BOTH sides) and adjustment labor is ridiculous.

Shop probably thinks an insurance company's fair game & is relying on them not looking at beyond the total. Like I said, it's a con right from the off.
