Went to Caliber Collisions for a rear bumper of a Kia, it was clear it needed replacement. Quoted me 1410. Then they increased that to 1794.29 mid repair as it turned out even more parts underneath needed replacement too which added more. Then another 250 USD for sensor calibration. So it ended up at a total of 2044, which is 68% more than the initial quote. While the quality of workmanship is great, quoting is really terrible and it could have been communicated , e.g. that another 250 are needed to be accounted for for the sensor calibration that would seem likely and another x 100 dollars for parts underneath the bumper as knowing what can be broken is why I go to a professional in the first place. If it were only about the things I can see, I could just look at the damage, look up parts prices myself and then ask for a price to install them.
