Car guys and/or girls,
Can my damaged side skirt be repaired at an auto body shop?
Last week I drove over a curb entering a parking lot while in a hurry. My C350 Benz came down hard and the side skirt ended up cracking (see pictures). Im not very knowledgable when it comes to cars and wanted to know if the side skirt can be repaired at a body shop, or will it have to be replaced with a new side skirt?
I can hold the piece that is falling off into place with my hand, but it will obviously not stay in place. And the crack would be visible. I was thinking it can be glued on, sanded, and repainted. But again, I dont have much knowledge in this area.
If it can be fixed, about how much do you think it would cost at a shop? Just a rough estimate. A hundred, a few hundred, close to a thousand, etc.? If it has to be replaced with a new one, about how much will I be looking at then?
I wanted to ask here before taking it to a body shop so that I know what I will be working with. Any help will greatly appreciated.
Lastly, does anyone here know of any good body shops in the north/central Jersey area?
