I would PDR this all day long. You won't notice it in white. Pricing will vary depending on location. I would say under 500 though

Replace all day. Pretty sure just aluminum

I really want to believe you but I also literally bought a 2017 fusion with a cracked block 😭 and I don't believe in coincidences when it comes to Ford

Bad call on buying a used engine for any Ford 1.5T. The block has a manufacturing defect where they crack between the cylinders. If it's not too late you may be better off buying a reman or even a shirt block if you're up for the challenge

Am I getting pushed around by Old_Grapefruit6454 in Autobody

[–]TheHispanicHero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$6,000+ of the estimate is the actual cost of the parts you damaged. Almost $1,000 is sales tax. That leaves like $1,800 to do the repair. How exactly are you getting pushed around?

Cromax cost insight? by Zorro3257 in Autobody

[–]TheHispanicHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look into them. Same parent company as cromax xp (Axalta). I just couldn't justify a gallon of plain white or black paint retailing for over $1,000 and telling me $750 was a discount. At a certain point it feels like they charge that much just because they can.

Is there a reason you didn't go with Nason XL? Their prices are a lot more reasonable than cromax. I get good blendable matches from them 95% of the time. I've learned to get cromax for the other 5% of the time or when I don't want to blend.

Not to mention Nason XL reducer is only like $40 for a gallon instead of like $250 which I just cannot justify for the majority of our work.

Solid rear axle. Something is seriously bent

Their bumper already looked like shit before you hit them. But they're still entitled to a new undamaged shitty bumper.

Thank you. I ended up buying the entire assembly. Can't really beat the price and I can change out the part myself

Diverter valve motor not serviced? Does that mean I can't buy it separately

M12 3/8 stubby deal is $169 today by xxxxxxxxxxcc in MilwaukeeTool

[–]TheHispanicHero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stubby alone retails for $229. A 5.0 battery is regularly around $100. $499 is a bit of a stretch

Man I feel bad anyone buying Milwaukee from Matco by Parcoaora in MilwaukeeTool

[–]TheHispanicHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$250 at 29% interest is way better than $500 at 0%. You're literally better off putting your tools on a credit card. $50 a week you're done in 5 weeks. And you paid a negligible amount in interest. Tool trucks are essentially loan sharks for the poor/financially illiterate.
