Default The Sky Is Falling

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/99248/branch_audi_a.jpg"></center><p>Actually it fell from about 20 feet and left a nice scar on the front of my hood.

I've never had body work done on a vehicle before. What should I expect to pay and what procedure will yield the best results?

Default how bad is the damage?

the little dent on the hood looks like it can be taken care of with Paintless Dent Repair.

Default Best guess, $600. Don't let the Insurance Co. dictate the repair shop...

choose a high end repair shop. They should repair damage, color coat, lightly blending the color out toward the right and left edges (but not all the way) then clear coat the hood complete. Good luck.

Default You might be lucky...

Like BlueDog maybe any scratches can just be buffed outand the dents could be fixed without painting most likely. The paint work is what would cost the most and take the most time.

You're lucky. My 50 year Maple tree crushed the roof of my ar.

I miss the Central Coast, like many after Cal Poly you can find the work to stick around.
