Fender Bender insurance will not cover it ! (El Paso: price, shop)

[Richard Telles]

I need to find a body shop to do the work on my vehicle, but I'm having a difficult time finding one that do the work of unbending some of the parts, all they want to do is replace them. The insurance will not cover it, so the price they keep giving me are very high. Could use some help !

Using bondo is good for scratches, dings, or small indentations, but for a bent fender, or something like that, most reputable isurance companies allow the part to be replaced. If your insurance company won't do that, they are cheap. I'd find another insurance company; if they balk at that, imagine what your insurer will do when serious injuries, or vehicle damage occurs.

I believe it is called Texas Auto Body shop. It is on the corner of Pellicano and Goodyear. I highly recommend them. I have been there four times and they were very honest and reliable.

I've used Texas and they were reasonable, they let me choose which parts I wanted replaced with new or used parts, and Ochoa's body shop on Doniphan will work with you on alternative cheaper ways. They fixed a fender bender on my vehicle and matched the paint that no one can tell.

This is the kind of thing that I used to visit Juarez for! I have had a total restoration of an old vehicle done there for under $4,000 when the lowest price quote I had on the USA side was $7,000. It was a convertible, so the price included a new canvas top in addition to complete restoration of the body, engine and drive train.
