Default Smart Repair

Anyone know the going rate for smart repair of door keying , My colleague got quoted £145 + vat for each door even though one of the doors only had a very small length of scratch. Seemed a bit weird to me

He is is Stockport if anyone has a local recommendations

Thanks

You can repaint whole car for £150.

But with what quality?

Removing door handle for instance and rubber strip on top of door to paint the door properly is very labour intensive exercise.
