Yaris roof paint repair quote

[edequen]

Hi all, I live in Karratha, WA and recently purchased a black 2006 Yaris hatch which has serious paint damage to the roof. I took the car in to one of the two places up here which paint cars and asked them to do a quote up for me to repair the roof, and said i would leave the car with them as long as possible and would pay cash. Today i received the quote from them for $2000 (See below).

Now i'm happy to do the drive down to Perth to have it repaired if it's going to be cheaper down there, I just don't have much scope of what a realistic price for the paint job is?

Can anyone help me out? Is the quote i received reasonable or should I be heading to a city where it could be done a lot cheaper?

Thanks!

From a repairer's perspective, that quote is fair and reasonable. You can probably find cheaper repairer. But, please bare in mind, you do get what you pay for.

While reviewing their quote, they have actually missed a few items in the quote.

Hope this helps.
