Dealer

Hey All,

I'm a new one to this body forum. I'm looking to have some body work done to my 2000 X. There are dents and whatnot on both sides, got an estimate from Ford dealer (Dupont Certified) and it came to $2200. w/ no parts needed. My question is, since I've never had body work done before how do delaers compare with the independent places? I know the dealership is a stealership, but how does the work compare?

If it's a reputable shop and is ASE and I-Car certified, the work should be good. Ask around to see if anyone knows about their work and ask if you can see examples of what they've done.
