I live near Sacramento and need to have my dorr stop/check welded/repaired. Which shop did yours?

Here's a bit of a nasty one, inspired by Mike 3's superb job I asked the special efects boys to weld up My check strap which they obligingly did, I said 'can you weld up the underside of the strap' to which the answer was, "oh don't worry that weld will never break" and they were right, it didn't but the steel of the door pillar just ripped away leaving the hole you see......... now I have a pretty expensive repair!!

Mine was getting pretty loud and needed to be done.

Estimate #1: $500
Estimate #2: $1,500

I just rolled in from picking up the car at Scan Automotive, one of our local indie shops where it was getting repaired. Andy fixed it for $51.12 taxes in.

I'll post some pictures later but the fix is almost invisible and I have yet to touch it up. for Scan.

Here's what mine looks like:

Hi Louis,

Its hard to tell what Andy did...is there a weld underneath or is it inside the pillar?

That's great if he charged only $50 for the repair!

Cheers,

Mike

It's underneath. You can't see it because he did a great job. I'm very impressed. Korva and No.1 were the other quotes.

I hope he also painted and primed the weld? Looks good though...the body shops were likely high because they do not need the work (you have seen the backlog!)

Cheers,

Mike

No, because he didn't have touch-up but I just picked some up and will be doing so over the weekend. As for the body shops, one wanted to take the door appart while the other wanted to take the dash appart. Don't ask me why but that's why the quotes were high.
