A dented door, a creased wing and a damaged sill need different assessments. Straightening aims to restore a panel's shape where its condition allows repair instead of replacement.
Dent size is only one factor. Depth, its position on a body crease, access behind the panel and signs of previous repair also matter. A single straight-on photograph often hides changes in shape. Angled views showing reflections and surface transitions help communicate the damage more clearly.
Why similar dents can cost different amounts
Repairing a removable wing and working in an area with restricted access can involve different labour. The preliminary price list starts at UAH 1,000 for local straightening and UAH 3,000 for a standard panel with preparation. Painting is separate; the exact list of operations is established after inspection.
When replacement is considered
Severely stretched or torn metal, corrosion and unsuccessful previous repairs can make restoration impractical. Repair and replacement are then compared including fitting and painting. If adjacent parts or mounting points have moved, correcting only the outer panel may not be enough: the body geometry may need checking.

Prices from the current price list are preliminary guides. We agree the exact scope, materials and final amount after inspection. Parts and additional operations are not automatically included.

It depends on the coating damage and the repair method. These prices refer to conventional body work; paintless repair is not promised without an inspection.
Is filler charged again on top of preparation?
The straightening-with-preparation item already includes preparation. The same operation should not be counted twice; the actual scope is clarified in the estimate.
Can a sill be priced like a door?
No. Construction and access differ. A damaged sill is assessed individually rather than automatically assigned a door repair price.
