Dent cost guide

What dent covers

Most Dent bills come down to parts, labour and any diagnostic work. Two providers can describe the same Dent differently, so compare the pieces rather than the headline total.

Because two providers can describe the same Dent in different ways, ask each one to break the total into the same line items before you compare them.

Choosing a mechanic for dent

Ask whether a licence or registration is required for this kind of work, confirm it with the regulator, and request proof of insurance before work starts.

Ask for two recent local jobs you can call, and read the written scope for what it leaves out as carefully as what it includes.

The things that move a dent price

The vehicle, whether parts are original or aftermarket, the shop's labour rate and how soon you need the car back.

Where you are matters too: outlying areas add travel, and dense cities add access and permit overhead.

Ways to keep dent costs down

Collect two or three written quotes and compare them line by line instead of on the bottom line, then ask what the price would be for payment in full.

When the work can be scheduled, moving it out of the busiest season usually lowers the bill. Ask whether a bundle or off-peak rate exists.
