You did not tell us what this vehicle is other than VW. Your location is unknown . If your insurance is not involved then go to your local body shop ( now called Collision Centers ) and ask for an estimate . Any guess from a forum could be so far off as to be worthless. ---

Impossible to say anymore with the material cost and paint blending. $1000, $2000, just go down and get a free estimate from a quality body shop. ---

Thanks, it is vw tiguan 2022, front passenger seat, and yes will be doing it out of pocket! Thank you either way! ---

Repaint door and fender, two pieces of trim; $2300, plus or minus $1000. “Out-of-pocket” doesn’t sound so good anymore. BTW, he didn’t really want to know the year and model of your vehicle. ---

The tread depth of your tire appears to be quite low. Have you checked it to see if it needs to be replaced? ---

> [@Nevada\_545](#): > > “Out-of-pocket” doesn’t sound so good anymore. One must calculate the cost, including forgone interest, of paying for insurance. I purchased my own medical insurance for 20 years, bought the high-deductible, winced at the occasional bill, but calculated that I was better-off financially. How good a job can one do oneself? Harbor Freight sells tools: [https://www.harborfreight.com/search?q=auto%20body%20repair%20tools](https://www.harborfreight.com/search?q=auto%20body%20repair%20tools) I’ve done all my own - it looks terrible - but it’s solid and can’t make much difference on an '87.
