Default Truck damaged
What do you guys think? Easy enough repair from a reputable shop? Looks like bed can be fixed with PDR (I think) insurance is covering this one. Fender has a slight tear. Looks like dents in both passenger side doors and chipped paint so it'll be dent repair and respray. Easy enough fix for a reputable shop?

Local shop said they had all the special aluminum tools/machines and a machine specifically for the bed if they can't PDR the dent.

Good times...estimate was around $3600.

The fender is definitely going to get replaced. They're going to try to repair the doors.

They do a lot of work for one of the local ford dealers as well.

Does not look like collision damage. Was it vandalized! Slight damage to all panels on one side with no overlap from panel to panel except for the scratch? I'd be pissed!

Is that body filler in the dent on the bedside?

They pulled the dent first. Primed it and got it ready to go as far as I can tell.

Body filler was used after the dent was pulled. This is pretty common and accepted. Spoke with enough detailers and bodymen on this.

It's better than having to replace that entire bedside...much less invasive.
