IS THIS A GOOD PRICE?

So they crashed the driver side fender of my car....and since i bought the car the front bumper and lower lip have been messed up.....i took it to a body shop to see how much thy would charge me. The man said he would charge me 275 to fix everything that was wrong in the whole front end of the car and re paint it all...is this a good deal? or not? i just really dont know about body work alot

thats a good deal, most places run 200- 250 per panel,so a door and fender work and repaint would run 400-500. so if hes doing the nose for 275 i would go for it.

I'd get an estimate from several shops. If you know any car guys, ask around for opinions/recommendations.
