I am curious about the time my specialized auto body mechanic charged me for a repair job. My 1998 Seabring convertible had a battery acid spill that caused rust to form all over battery tray. As some of you may know, the design of the seabring battery placement is strainge. You have to pull the wheel (rt. front), take off the under-fender skirting (cover). Then he sandbalsted the battery tray, after diagnosing that the rust was superficial, mainly on the coating originally on the battery tray. Then he painted with 2 coats of rust inhibinting coating. Dryed overnight, remounted battery and replaced skirting under fender and remounted the wheel. For this I was charged $680 for the equivalent of 6.8 hrs work. What do you think?
This shows why you should always get an estimate for repairs first. Call a few body shops and ask what they would charge to do the same, also call the BBB to see if they can help. Good luck!

Its to late to do much about it now but, you could have just spay it your self for like 3 bucks and it would have lasted just as long… anytime you have to have a car or any repair work at all always and remmeber always talk with at lest three people about what you want done always ask what its going to cost and how long it wil take
