wtk price of an estimate from a straightener after an accident

depends, if you need a quote for insurance.
straightener does quote for a percentage of total cost (avg 10%) which will be wavered if he does the repair.

if not through insurance, they normally give you a verbal guesstimate to work with.

wagonrunner, isnt that an unfair practice?
charging for a quote?

I mean if you wanna cover the cost of the paper and ink, fine, but 10% of the job?

that is madness.

people charge for estimates because most times they don't get the job,the owner collects the money and then go to a cheaper guy and pocket the rest,,,,,,, Idea
