Had an “oops” with a snow bank. Anyone care to guess what this is gonna cost me?

Estimated cost: A bit of psychic pain; some minor suffering; a bit of inconvenience; a touch of disappointment; and a once again beautiful car to look forward to once your car is restored.

Just wait for the next snowbank before fixing it lol. It doesn’t look that bad.

Looks more like an ouch. I would suggest a Band-Aid.

Looks like the radiator control shutter is about $750. Add in the time to dissassemble the front and replace it… Probably about $1250. But I’m not an auto mechanic. The body work I do is pf an entirely different sort.

Shutter part is $708. Labor to r&r is $500. I know.

I was close. I’m going to call it a win.

Once you do post repair calibrations and what not I would easily charge 2k for these repairs (in the body shop business).

If it's gonna Cost $1200 I'm thinking Motomax is right....doesn't look that bad! If the car was a few years old I wouldn't give it a second thought....so I may just need to let age catch up with it. Ill go up to $700

Did the snow bank have insurance?
