but my insurance company (USAA) has a contract with them and sent me there.
Labor rate is $34/hr. Both doors to be dismounted and remove all trim, moldings, exterior mirror, interior panels etc. so they are down to the exterior door shells. For the rear quarter panel, remove the rear bumper cover, fuel filler door and RH taillight assembly. Repaint damaged areas and blend color from front door to back of car. Reassemble doors, remount and align.
Body labor 30h ($1,023), paint labor 8.5h ($290), paint and materials $221, plus tax and misc little items, total $1,587.19
It it were an older car and all my money, I'd go somewhere cheaper for sure. But on an almost new car, even if I get shafted by her insurance (Allstate) I'm out the $500 deductible whether these guys do it or a schlocky place does it -- so for me the high-line (Lynch's word) treatment looks like the way to go.
Plus, as my long-suffering readers already know, the next time it goes in to the dealer for any unscheduled warranty work, Saab legal will beam it back up to the mother ship, and I don't want any hassles about crappy body repairs if that day comes.
