Hi my area is charging between £100 and £150 depending on colour and damage to bonnet ie repair time i think you will find it about the same at most places.

Why go to a main dealer???
Their bodyshops are not guarateed to be better than a smaller one, who will probably be cheaper too.
Ring round.

Hi, I had mine done for £100. No damage, just annoying stone chips. I think most dealers charge £23 per hour + paint/materials + VAT.

Oh, I had the front bumper done as well after a nasty incident on the motorway with a fecking road sign. They only charged £75 for that and it did have some nasty scratches to fill; so guess most of the cost was in the labour.

Fair enough - but there is no fixed price for bodywork so you will still have to ask them - everyone varies.

Thanks for the info, I had no idea what I was looking at paying, for now a touch up stick will do (£8.95 for 15ml.!!!)
