Hello! my 08 w204 c350 sport's drivers door was backed into by my girlfriends sister and they said they would cover everything. I took it into the shop and it needs a new door. I was quoted 4 grand for parts plus labor and im not feeling great about handing that to my girlfriends family. The car is in IRIDIUM SILVER. The red marks I'm very lost about.
#Is this estimate too high?

I'm not sure about the paint supplies and body supplies having an hourly rate on them, but otherwise after being able to see everything laid out I'd say it's a fair quote considering the car. Others in here may have differing opinions but I'd say it's fair.
Collision work is never cheap, even with low speed collisions
65/hr is a bit of a steal on a labor price, I think my shop charges almost 150/hr for bodywork
@sterile frigate thanks for the help, it was a very very minor thing more of a cosmetic thing they can’t fix with paint

Well if it’s like cracked or something they’ll probably want to replace it even if it’s small cracks
As much as I’m sure you want to be nice to the ol lady’s family if they’re offering to pay in full I’d want it as perfect as possible
all OEM yes its a a very good shop
