$1,000.00 to remove the existing and replace with seats and panels you supply sounds like outright robbery. Check with any panel beater or Merc dealership on the book time to remove and replace a front seat, rear squab and backrest and a single door trim, then do the math on their hourly rate. Insurance companies work of these approved times when assessing quotes for man hours allotted for repairs. I think you will get a shock at your friends quote, sure he wasn't wearing a mask and that spanner in his hand wasn't a gun? Sounds like robbery and would be here in Oz. Get another quote! Sorry.
