In my area, there are numerous shops that will do the work. However the "Cheap" paint job is not a viable option. What everyone says is true, the shops can make more with no expectations of perfection on a daily driver. Most people will trade a wreck, not long after they get it back. I hear it all of the time "It just is not like it was before the accident". If they care enough to be involved in the repairs, then the shop is not likely the one that your insurance wanted you to go to. The insurance company wants all of the bucks in their house and not the body shop's. $10,000.00 is a price that many shops will start at and then go from there for anything extra. We have one shop in my area that charges by the hour while the vehicle is in the paint booth. Then they add the cost of materials on top of that.
