The dented door is the least of your worries on this car.... I know - i've got one  |
Prices must vary widely on fixing spring perches....$850 for one seems really high; local dealer would do both for $900. I could get BOTH of mine done for $600....and my auto body guy is first rate....does spring perches all the time.
