What body work typically costs

Walking into a Des Moines shop with a rough idea of the price protects you from over- and under-quoting alike. Paintless dent repair usually runs $75–$350 while the paint is intact; once the paint is cracked or the metal is creased, the same dent becomes $350–$1,500 or more of conventional body work. Bumper work spans $150–$600 for scuffs and $500–$2,500+ for a full replacement once parking sensors and cameras are involved, and hail damage across a whole vehicle typically lands between $750 and $8,000.

Our collision repair cost guides break down each repair in detail — dent repair, scratches, bumpers, hail damage, and paint work — including what drives the price and when an insurance claim beats paying cash.

Choosing a shop in Des Moines

Reviews narrow the list; these questions settle it:

• Get more than one estimate. Quotes for the same damage routinely differ by hundreds of dollars, and a second opinion costs you nothing.
• Ask what the warranty covers. Most reputable shops guarantee their paint and workmanship — get the length and what voids it in writing.
• Settle the parts question up front. OEM, aftermarket, and used parts carry very different prices and fitment; ask which the estimate assumes.
• Check the insurance angle. You are free to pick your own shop regardless of what an insurer suggests — but confirm the shop bills your carrier directly if you are filing a claim.
• Ask about ADAS calibration. If your car has lane-keep, blind-spot, or automatic braking, cameras and radar often need recalibrating after body or glass work.

Getting an estimate

Every shop page in this directory includes a free photo estimate: upload a few pictures of the damage and get a preliminary repair figure back in minutes, before you drive anywhere. It is a fast way to sanity-check a quote you have already been given, or to walk into a Des Moines shop knowing roughly what the job should cost. The shop still confirms the final number in person — a written estimate always requires an inspection.
