Is this a fair repair price for a 2013 Honda Civic?

There's a small dent and scratch on the back right corner of the car. It says that the cost of parts only totals about 100-200 dollars but the labor will take 32 hours and cost 1800 dollars. Is this fair?

Well as the can build a complete Civic in less than that I would check again on the labour costs, unless of course they need to strip the car right back to fit the panel. For that price I'd wear the dent as a battle scar.

What are you talking about? Are you talking about painting a car? Well see, the thing needs to dry in a heated room. Why should they pay for the electricity/gas/oil/whatever to heat YOUR car. Yes, you pay for that too. You pay for the actual labor of painting. You pay for the paint.

1800 seems like a fair price for a quality paint job on part of the car. I don't know where this "scratch" is and how deep it is. I have no idea how much of the car they will have to sand and re-prime. Nobody here can tell you how much of the car actually needs to be repainted for a proper blend.

Depends on what you are talking about but i would go around and see if anyone will do it for cheaper

It's average. Disassembly, repair, sand, prime, paint and re-mount doesn't happen in an hour.

For that time and price they better be respraying the whole car.

Just one panel? Should be a fraction of the time and cost. Like if they can't replace and respray one panel on a Civic in a day, find a different body shop.

If they are repainting the whole car, then it sounds more reasonable.

  • 2013 Honda Civic or 2013 Toyota Corrola? I bought a 2013 Honda Civic for 15 thousand. Great condition, no problems. However I had the choice of that or a 2013 Toyota Corrola for the same price. Both at the same dealership. I kinda regret not taking the Toyota. Only reason being that I seem to be likin the "look" of the Corolla now. What would you pick, and why?

  • What is a fair asking price for my car? I own a 2004 Honda Accord EX-L 4 cyl and it has 220,100 miles, it runs like it doesn't even have that kind of mileage on it. I want to trade it in for an 07 Accord EX-L V6 with Navi and its a standard transmission with 71k miles. How much should i ask for MY car and how much should the other car be priced at? I don't want them to finance me for more than what the car is worth, i just want to pay the difference
