What body work typically costs
Our collision repair cost guides break down what each repair should cost — dent repair, scratches, bumpers, hail damage, and paint work — including what drives the price and when an insurance claim beats paying cash. Knowing the going rate before you call makes it far easier to judge whether an estimate in Arcata is fair.
Getting an estimate
Every shop page in this directory offers a $14.99 photo report: upload a few pictures of the damage and get a preliminary repair figure back in minutes, before you drive anywhere. The one-time report is a fast way to sanity-check a quote you have already been given, or to walk into a Arcata shop knowing roughly what the job should cost. The shop still confirms the final number in person — a written estimate always requires an inspection.
