No, waiving a deductible is fraud against an insurance company and under no circumstances will Pender Autobody waive a deductible.
Locating a water leak is often time consuming and can get expensive. It is almost impossible to put a cost on water leaks because of the diagnosis time involved. Water leak diagnosis is charged by the hour until we have located a leak. Once the leak is determined then we can give an accurate estimate on repairs.
When repainting a smaller newer vehicle with minimal body work, the cost is approximately between $3,000 – $4,000. When dealing with older vehicles and restoration vehicles, it is not unusual to have costs exceeding $6,000. For more information contact a Pender Auto Body representative.
Unfortunately, Pender Auto Body does not handle repair work for rusted vehicles.
As autobody repair work often gets expensive, we always try to help our customers make the best choice. The factors to consider are the overall shape of a vehicle and the types of costs that you will incur in the near future. In many cases it is possible to upgrade to a newer vehicle that is in better shape, better fuel efficiency and less kilometers for a minimal cost difference. Another factor is if the vehicle is a daily driver or has sentimental value. Cars that are a daily driver need to be reliable and safe. If you are unsure we would be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.
