How or is the best way to fix this without cutting it out and putting in a new repair patch panel.
I have flux welder, but I'm afraid that will cause too much heat and make more work to fix. I'm also trying to fix it with the least amount of bond and have gotten the truck bed straight enough for bond, but this given me a headache.
Got any good ideas. I got the hammers and dollies and a stud welder that I've pulled 90% of all the dents out.
Is it possible to buy an entire door to replace damaged door for a Volkswagen Passat? Do junkyards sell entire door?
Our car (2007 Infiniti G35) has been getting wet inside - the floor is soaked after rain, and I can feel the interior door fabric is wet. I obviously need to take the car somewhere, but I don’t know how to pick a body shop. All the ones near me seem to be the kind of shop that do really awesome mods and paint and that kind of thing. How do I figure out a place that will handle weather sealing and (probably) rust care?
Whats the name and can it be replaced?
So I was in an accident where the other person was found at fault. She left some pretty decent damage to my 2016 Toyota Corolla including the small hole near the corner . We both have Allstate and her insurance will be covering. The AI estimator on MyClaim is offering $578 for the paint repair, not a replacement. Is this a fair offer or should I push to negotiate for a little higher? I’ve read on here first estimates are typical of low balling. Any advice helps, as this is my first accident.
*Note: I will paying off my car on Monday as it is my last car payment
It’s got like 4 different scratches but nothing on the light? I’m not sure what to do about it because obviously they hit it and left but I’m assuming it’s something large like a snow plow or something else.
Hi y'all! Below is a scratch on my left fender. It looks like there's some rust starting to form. Would this be possible to DIY, or would I have to take it to a shop? Thanks!
Would a suction puller work to take this dent out on my door this is the only pic I got of it
I got quoted $2500 to fix this. Do you guys think this is reasonable?
Is this salvageable via any DIY method? It’s from water seeping in. It has not increased in size or gotten wet again since it originally formed, despite being exposed to rain and snow.
Or would it require having the entire ceiling ripped out and reupholstered? Looking for any advice before going to spend money at a detailer
My rental in Hawaii. Like a dope I dismissed the extra insurance because I never have problems.
Tight parking spot and the front scraped the chain link. I think it’s to much to buff out as I can feel the scratches
I was rear ended yesterday in the car wash. Apparently the guy behind me left his car and drive, and when the conveyor started moving forward, his car left forward and smacked into the back of mine. There’s no visible damage to the back of my car
What I’m worried about is damage to the drive train? Axles? Alignment? From being pushed forward on whatever that conveyor belt is and then briefly stomping on the brakes.
Can this mess up something mechanical that I’m not going to see?
Any tips for cleaning up this giant scratch?
