My 2008 4/4 is well cared for, but showes a 7 inch string of bubbled paintwork along the lower rear aluminium mudguard trailing edge. I want to nip this very minor sign of corrosion in the bud. Berrybrook was giving me a valuation for insurance purposes recently, and quite rightly pointed it out, reckoning a sum of £250 per wing is what they would expect it to cost. A month or so later I duly trotted off to a local body shop near to my home town !
I was surprised to be told that they would need to take all four wings off, detach all electrics from the wings, match paint (of course).
£5,000 !!! Yes Sir ! !! For no lesser figure would we wish to consider the undertaking !
Five thousand pounds..!
It seems we now have Rip-Off-Devon.
Exit stage door left from that premises.
What sort of similar "rip-off-quotes" have disgusted you ?
