What changes the repair scope?
A surface mark differs from missing paint. A bumper scuff differs from a crack or damaged mount. A dent may also have paint damage. Each detail changes what must be checked before an estimate is useful.
How should you compare estimates?
Ask which part is included, whether repair or replacement is being considered, and what finish work is covered. Also ask what still needs inspection. Comparing the work described is more useful than comparing totals alone.
