Some dealerships across the country charge $75.00 per hour or more.   - Also included in a bill is the Auto Repair company's cost of doing business -overhead, taxes, hazardous waste disposal fees, and taxes.
Average small auto body repairs depend on the dents...... Example: if you have a coin sized dent it could take up to 15 to 20 minutes to fix. 5 or 10 minutes to final prep & then prime. If your average bodyman makes $15-25/hr, and add materials, you could pay up to $30 to $35 per coin sized dent. This cost of the dent repair is reduced if they fix the entire car. It takes about 12 hours to fully prep & prime a car (without dents). This could cost about $450 with out the paint.
