Fender Repair & Replacement Cost

Front fenders are bolt-on panels, making them relatively straightforward to replace compared to welded panels like quarter panels. Aftermarket fenders are widely available for most vehicles at significant savings over OEM parts. Repair vs replacement depends on the extent of damage -- minor dents can be repaired, while severe creasing or rust requires replacement.
