Not sure if this is the right message board for this

I don't know what area of SD you're in. I recently had work done at Poway Valley Collision. The work they did was excellent, but the time they took was three times longer than promised. They had one lame excuse after the other for the delays, none seem legit, I think I just got pushed to the back of the line or wasn't given a real time estimate up front.

So if you want great work, and can be without the truck for a while, I recommend them.

Believe me. I pitched a class A hissy fit in my front yard when it happened.

Body shops always take a long time to complete the work. It is unfortunately something you can't avoid at any large body shop. I work at a car dealership and we sublet smaller jobs due to time and cost to Dent Wizard. Give them a call they will be cheaper than a large body shop and take a lot less time. Mark

I just dropped the truck off at Toyota for an estimate. I know, I know... I told them I thought my bringing the truck to them was a waste of time because I would not be able to afford their work! They did say that if I was paying out of pocket vs insurance, they would give me a better deal and use Toyota parts.

Is there really a difference between Toyota parts and after market. I'm kind of a purist when it comes to my truck. I will definately look into Dent Wizzard.

Toyota does not make body filler, so that's a BS story saying they will use Toyota parts. IF what you are showing is the only damage, you'll either replace the whole bed, (super easy) , or they will pull the dent, fill it with bondo or equivalent body filler, prime, then paint. You might be able to get a new bed, with matching paint for around $1000. Possibly less.

Perfect time to install a kayak rack instead of a bed

Fair price, good color match?
