Default Cost for 2001 A6 4.2 fender repair?

what would be a fair price to have this repaired? Very low velocity collision.

Take it to a couple of local body shops for estimates. They are probably a better source of that kind of information.

Very subjective because of your location. Labor rates around the country vary considerably. In some places local trade schools will do that sort of work while training students and is almost material cost only. Being students the quality can vary. Some are really good and others not so much. Big dent!

Mine has similar on the rear passenger door & fender. After finding out the cost for damage and 5-stage pearl white paint repair, it started looking fine. No need for any repair. It really doesn't look that bad (on mine at least). Find the value of the car first so you know if it is worth pursuing...

Try junkyards. i paid 75 for mine it was silver... the fender goes for the whole c5 years i think. Rock-auto might have one for 50 i looked there once for a fender.

I've done this on a few work vans and saved a ton, sometimes even silver will match close to perfect.
