Avalanche Accident Repair Costs

Received the actual detailed repair estimate this afternoon via email. In round numbers: ~$6000 parts, ~$3000 labor, ~$500 tax, total of ~$9500. There were about a total of ~50 hours of labor, ranging from ~$30 to ~$80 an hour depending on the type of labor (paint/body/mechanical), with a total “days to repair” being 20.

Specific areas included:

  • Rear Wheels – replace
  • Rear Suspension – replace
  • Quarter Panel – replace
  • Front Door – R&I (remove and install)
  • Rear Door – replace
  • Pillars/Rocker/Floor – replace (running board)
  • Rear Bumper – replace
  • Tailgate – replace

Who would have thought it would cost this much??
