I was pwned by the body shop today. Got in an accident, my fault, and my insurance sucks. So, I take the car in to get my passenger window stuck back up and my side doors working again. Estimate: "Couple hundred dollars"

Bill.. $400. :Q

I need to learn how to haggle better.

that sounds about fair to me. why do people seem to think cars are cheap and easy to fix?

Simmer down now, I didn't think it would be cheap.

I learned my lesson cause the estimate was $200 and their actual price ended up being twice that. For an hours worth of work. If I had a more accurate estimate I woudn't have gone through with it. Sneaky, but hey.. the tactic worked on me. :p
