Damage Summary
This is an estimate for repairing the visible damage on the passenger-side rear quarter panel of the 2018 Ford Focus. Based on the photos, the most likely repair is to fix the dented and scuffed quarter panel area above the rear wheel, refinish the repaired quarter panel, and blend into the nearby rear passenger door so the metallic gray paint matches properly. The estimate does not assume quarter panel replacement because the photos do not clearly show torn metal, a major buckle, or a crushed wheel-opening edge.

Important Notes
- This estimate is based on the photos and damage description, not a final in-person quote. A body shop will need to inspect the vehicle in person to confirm final pricing and repairability.
- The biggest cost risk is the passenger-side rear quarter panel near the wheel-opening edge. If the shop finds stretched metal, a folded lip, cracked metal, old body filler, corrosion, or hidden backside damage, the repair may require more labor than shown here.
- The rear passenger door is included for paint blending only. The photos do not support repairing or replacing the door itself.
- This estimate does not include suspension, wheel, tire, rear bumper, tail lamp, rear body panel, scan, or ADAS calibration work because those items are not supported by the visible damage.
- If inspection confirms heavier wheel-opening edge damage or difficult backside access, a higher-end outcome could be around $2600-$3300, depending on the shop's repair method, paint blend requirements, and any hidden damage found.
