locks smoothed over

13th March 2009, 14:24

how much will i be looking at to have the two door locks smoothed over, my car got broken into last night and they have fucked them leaving big holes under them

Depends some people do it dirt cheap and some dont. Depends on the colour of your car, it might need the quarter painting aswell to blend the colour in or if its black they can just edge to edge the colour on the door which would be alot cheaper.

I can smooth them but cant paint them if you want.

that waould be awesome but i live nowhere near you lad lol, and i need it done in the next week before it causes more damage with a hole in my door

I went to a body shop and they charged me £300 but they welded a plate where the lock is then smothed it and finaly sprayed it they did a top job though.

Thats why I got mine done cause some dick tryed braeking in and damaged all round the lock.

Hears a pic mate

300?? seems a bit steep mate no? i got a quote of 175

13th March 2009, 21:28

Ye looking back it was a bit steap but was happy with the job they do look good smothed was thinking about getting my new saxo done. Ill no for next time lol.

13th March 2009, 21:29

175 is stupidly cheap, you want to make sure its done properly. Paint and materials to paint two doors and two quarters(if needed) should cost atleast 60, then you have the labour charge on top prime paint and polish can take about 4 hours thats without the welding work. say 25 pound an hour for four hours is 100 then materials at 60. I cant see how the company could make any profit out of 175 to be honest, i would snap that up straight away.
