How much is the car worth? By the looks of it, the repair would be more than the cars total worth. oOo:

a butch backed into my parked car in the summer. The dent was the size of the palm of my hand, but it was on the body line where the body changes angle. Cheapers quote I got was $750 CDN.

Body work is expensive,

For all the dents you have, 350 pounds sounds like a pretty good price to me.

You can also try going to a few different shops. I went to 4 shops and prices varied from 750-1100 or so.

I try and do as much work on my cars as I can before I bring it to a shop. I even fixed a rust hole the size of an egg and you would never know it was there. Dents in the door are a little bit more of a PIA but if you can take off the inside liner of the door you might be able to just push the sucker out. I highly suggest trying to fix it yourself. Go out by an owners manual for hte car, Haynes sells good ones as they disassemble an entire car then rebuild it and show you how in their manual. Look up how to take apart the door, do it, push the dent out, and you've gained some do it yourself skills.

I've already taken the door apart when my window decided to come off its brackets. I'll probably buy some of them kits and try it myself.

I was speaking to a mate last night, one of his dad's mates does this for a living, so he said he'll see if i can get it done for a cheaper price.
