Dodge truck repair estimate?
Recently acquired a dodge ram 1500 truck (used) and it has some cosmetic damages. the engine is fine. it has some paint chipped off from a hailstorm or two (the metal underneath is not
bent) the cover for the handle on my tailgate is missing. my windshield is cracked, my dashboard is cracked slightly, and the plastic cover over my odometer and rpm meter (don’t know what that place is called) is slightly cracked as well. the company i got it from said that would pay for half of the windshield. does somebody have a rough estimate or educated guess on how much this will cost to finish it? the truck is blue and has a v8 magnum if that matters.
Answer
The replacement of the dash and this is only an estimate, i would say that since it would take about 5.5 hours to replace the evaporator, then replacing the entire dash and then reinstalling all the original items, i would say about 10 to 12 hours.the cover on the tailgate should be a piece of cake to replace, the cover cant be more than $25.00.the windshield $150.00 to $225.00.the plastic bezel around the guages will be replaced when the dash is replaced, the part $100.00.the body work i have no idea.figure that the current labor rate is between $68.00 and $85.00 an hour.
