Bill,
One grand for a hinge and panel repair??? BCS is good at what they do but that is a bit much, was the hinge gold? Most if not all shops charge by the hour (shop rate) which covers the tech and most supplies but not parts. Just wondering here? We used to charge $125 per but only charged for actual time.
Hinge, can door 4ft @ 58 a foot 232.00
Tape 35.00
On looking at receipt
They did repaint part of the door 4 techs a total of 13 hours labor which they reduced 20% after I cried on the counter...:: total ...1259.13
The hinge broke in their shop and in getting it off it took several techs and they bent it up some doing it
I know how I feel .. They fixed it .. The door and hinge very well ( still scratches on the coach above the hinge but.) ..
I'll leave the rest up to your own opinion it's fixed and I've moved on
