[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16318774, member: 21786"] No they dont. Body shops are held to the prices that the insurance companies set, which when I was working at a body shop last was $52/hrs for body and paint labor rates. If the shop charges more than what is on the insurance companies estimate then that is cost that is directly passed onto the customer and you dont have to pay that, just simply take it to another shop because most shops go by the insurance companies labor rate which is usually standard across the industry. If it is a premier shop working on higher end cars then they may demand a higher rate from the insurance company because they sell themselves as a higher quality shop, but those rates have to be agreed on between the shop and the insurance company, otherwise the insurance company will only agree to their set amount and the customer will be left with the difference if they insist on having the work done at that particular shop. If you dont want to pay that then the insurance company has a long list of DRPs that they can send you to that will abide by the insurance companies rates because they live off of the customers that the insurance companies send their way.
