At full retail they are essentially using your misfortune to get an additional order for their bodyshop 
That would be very harsh when the only reason you had their car, was because you were paying them to work on your own. And had you been in your own car and dinged the door, you could of course have taken it to any bodyshop, almost all of which would gladly have undercut the dealer. |
Try reading the Estimate in OP and tell us how many Dealers charge $52 an hour for labor.....or any Independent worth a damn that charges that little that you claim would Undercut the price.
Furthermore, you are arguing the owner of a vehicle has no right on where their vehicle is repaired. Are you one that also piles on against Insurance Companies telling posters to get their car repaired where they want in an accident? Cannot have it both ways.
And finally, they should charge MSRP. I’m shocked they didn’t. It’s the OPs Insurance that should be paying. Not the OP.
