how much to change 1x rear arch
how much to change 1x rear arch
Ive had a price of £450 - £500 to cut out arch and rust behind rear bumper, plate all corroded areas and seal, prep and paint, does this sound about right? Ive also had a quote of £900 just to sort out the arch from a bodyshop but thats way too expensive.

Depends really, up in Newcastle I had quotes from £300 - 1000 for a pair of arches to be fitted, in fairness, alot of body shops over price as they don't want the job, others just want to have your pants off and tickle your chocolate starfish..
Definitely worth getting a few more quotes I would say.

Re: how much to change 1x rear arch
id say thats not a bad price its quite a bit involved to do the job properly, much less and id be questioning the quality of work.
as above get some more quotes and ask as many questions as you can regarding what exactly they are going to do to repair it and what your getting for your money.

Well I had a quote of £250 which included sorting out some welding behind the rear bumper, so may go ahead with it.
