    Body work. Is this something I can fix?

    Ok so I'm really pissed.

    I'm a mobile Detailer and the other day I was driving down the interstate. My phone rang. I reached down to get it and all of a sudden my detailing Van banged right into a guard rail.

    Here is a photo



    Does anyone have any body shop experience? Anyone know what procedure needs to be taken in order to fix this?

    ???

    Thanks. Nick

    Um...that's pretty bad...that's not exactly bondo-ing a dent--I'd let a shop handle that.

    You would have to weld the tear,metal straighten and some bondo. Then new mldgs, paint,etc. Not a big deal in a shop. Depends on the quality of repair you want.

    Tough lesson. Reason #1 to have a hands free blue tooth device. Hope you get it repaired with minimal hassle and expense.

    No shot buddy. Take it to a pro and be happy you only hit a guard rail and not another car!

    Exactly what he said. Not to bad if you have any experience with body repair.
