Can opener. How did that happen

Anyway, New RR door & front pass door. RR quarter & door jam to be pieced in & a repaint. Im not a body shop guy, but looks repairable & likely not a total based on what was pictured (I could be wrong)

My estimate = $7500 to $8500

A car took a turn into me and ripped the door skin off.

It's not too bad. New rear door. Possibly new front door, maybe just a skin. New quarter panel skin. Body work and paint. Def go through insurance though. Prob won't be cheap.

That's all replaceable. That par of the body comes as part of the replacement quarter panel.

The insurance got back, They estimated all parts and labor at 3912.00.
Seems low to me but there using used doors and used quarter panel.
What's your guys opinion ?

Used parts are viable. They usually come off another totaled car that was hit on another part of the vehicle.

Does your insurance allow for new parts? I would not be happy using take-off parts

Also, Have you gotten an estimate from a body shop of your choice?

Why would you not be OK with take off parts? It's not like a door or a quarter panel is a consumable. And the parts will get painted once they're on the car. It's really not an issue.
