I have a 2015 Qashqai 1.5 Diesel in non-metallic black.


I reversed into another car and damaged the tailgate - see picture.

I have a quote of £2,200 for repairs - this includes about £650 + VAT for labour, £500 + VAT for parts, and £500 + VAT for paint.

This is too much for me and I don't want to claim on insurance.

Any suggestions as to whether a) that charge seems reasonable, or b) whether there might be some cheaper alternative to replacing the tailgate that might not make things as-new but would be a lot cheaper ?


Thanks

Try these people; previously known as Auto Restore but seem to have been taken over.

Hello have you tried eBay there's one on ..looks like it's got a few marks but not as bad as yours ..if you got a bit of knowhow or a mate to help you could probably swap them around ...

Thanks for the replies. Buying a used tailgate looks like a good option, my challenge now is to get someone to fit it. The approved NIssan repair place (who gave me the original quote) wouldn't do it, saying they don't want liability if something doesn't work properly, which is reasonable enough.

Anyone recommend a garage in the Surrey area who would fit this for me ?

Thanks
