I am wondering whether a spot fix is worth it at all for the damage shown on the below pictures. I got a quote to get it fixed for $200. The owner of the body shop said that it would last two years, however I got a few other shops said that a spot fix like that would only last about 6 months. The said owner offered me a "warranty" that the paint would stay for two years. He seems overall honest, I am just not sure if he knows whether it will last for two years. Yes, I know that it'd best to fix it the right way, by doing the entire quarter panel, plus some/all of the bumper. That'd cost about 600-700, quoted from 3 different body shops. I am planning to keep my car for another 1.5-2 years.
What do you guys think?
Tony
