Default body shops?

i have a 97 cadillac catera that has its passenger side fender (right above wheel well) pushed in, its not too bad but ugly and i need it pulled back out and formed back and repainted (about 8'' by 6''). would it be cheaper to just buy a new fender (205.00-275.00) and have it painted and installed or to repair what i have? and what is a good body shop in virginia beach or near it, that can do it without tearing my wallet up?

I've taken my car to Jeff at Dreamworks. Does good work.

I actually need to go back. The front end I bought was shit and fell apart. Need to buy another one and have Jeff paint and put that one in for me.

I need to stop by and check you guys out sometime. I drive right by every day to and from work.

OT - I saw your car about a week and a half ago, over by Lynnhaven Mall. Color looks good. Wheels look good. But, IMO, they just don't work together real well. for daring to be different though.

depends on where the damage is on the fender? if you replace the fender on a on 97 car,you will most likely have to blend the adjacent panels,thus adding to the cost of repairs.post a pic and ill be able to tell you better..

id have to see it to tell you for sure, but if there is a decent amount of bodywork to be done, a new fender would probabaly be best, if all i have to do is prep seal it and shoot it, itll be alot cheaper than if i grind it, do bodywork, prime it, prep the primer, seal it, paint and clear it. less work, less money.
