Alright I wrecked my Iroc A while back, and i bought some new fenders well there not meeting and i was wondering how much they charge to do this sort of thing? I think it needs to be pulled from the front bottom end out a inch or 2.


Any ideas on price or is i could do it myself some how?


Thanks, Jensen

You don't have a frame and bending unibody isn't usually a good thing to do, but it can be done. Guessing a price will be tough, since we don't know what exactly they will have to do to get it correct again.

Guessing at a couple of hours on the rack at probably $65 per hour or better. Plus any shop time needed to prep the car to get it in pull-able condition, like removing sub bumpers, radiator flow directors, etc. Save a few bucks by removing that stuff before hand. If the car is driveable, take it to a frame shop and let them give you a quote for the work you want done.

If it's not driveable, take measurements, take high res pictures close up and from a bit further back and they should be able to give you a "best guess". Be sure that you know in this case it's not a quote that you can hold them to once they start the work, so be sure to ask them to update their "best guess" quote before any work actually starts once the car is towed to the shop.

I got my front end pulled about an inch an a half almost 3 years ago. (rear ended a Jeep Cherokee) I payed 100 bucks. I think the car was there most of the morning. Haven't had a problem with it since.

thunder,

expect to pay a shop 2 hour set up time, and 1 to 1.5 hours per controll point, ie frame horn, strut tower, etc. If you have pictures of damage I could tell you exactly what it would be.

does your roof have a buckle in it? does your door sag when you open it? If not your frame horns are the only thing damaged, hopefully, so you should expect a total of 5 hours at your local frame rate. Don't be afraid of frame damage. I set it every day from cars i inspect and can tell you a good shop will fix you up like nothing ever happened.

If you can please take pics of your frame horns, strut towers, and your fender well with the wheels off so we can check for additional damage.

My pass side door is sagging a bit but the drivers is fine. The damage is in the front it has pushed the Bar(the one under the front bumper cover and support pad) up and thats why my new fenders are meeting the door wrong.



Will try and get pic's thanks for the help.
