Default Got a second repair estimate on the MR2

There is a body shop that has repaired 2 of our family's cars: my Celica and my mom's former VW. Today, he swung out here to give me an estimate on the MR2.

He called back and gave me ~3300 for paint and labor (I have the parts, that I can see I need). This estimate is half the price of the estimate from another shop. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Bring the car out of 1985 and have them paint it a different color.

Remember, I said I "assume." Tomorrow before I leave for New Mexico, I'll call and ask him.
