Brand new Rivian transported from North Carolina for me to perform paintless dent removal. The customer was told by the only certified shop near him that the repair would require a bedside replacement which was quoted around $40k. Insurance wanted to TOTAL this vehicle due to the high cost of repair. The customer did his research and ultimately referred to me to perform this repair.
These vehicle are very difficult to work on due to the limited access to the backside of the damage. We were able to repair the dent using paintless dent removal and maintain the factory parts and finish, as well as prevent a stain on the carfax. We had the vehicle in our possession for 3 days, which is a way better cycle time, than it sitting in a body shop for possibly a month or more.
This is my 25th year doing paintless dent removal and the extent of damage we can repair now, paired with the new tools, makes us a first repair choice for damage like this. Do your research and find a qualified dent repair shop. Thanks to our customer for trusting us with your vehicle.

The reason he got a $41K estimate is because the repair shop didn't want to do it in the first place.

Exactly. When there is too much work, I often price myself out of jobs if the customers seems annoying to deal with (especially needy - wants it done their specific way, shady, looks like they’re not going to be able to pay, etc…). By default, hard and long jobs gets axed as I can bang out easier jobs much quicker and make much more money that way. Of course part of the blame is on Rivian for such a consumer unfriendly design.

@@niyablake I don't see the problem with that if the shop does a good job of duplicating original construction. The repairs can be way better with replacement panels than with repairing original panels, depending on the level of workmanship of the shop, and how structural the repaired areas are. Steel that has been bent repeatedly will be weaker, so more structural unibody parts should be replaced, rather than bent again.

right! 41000$ is kinda stupid but the level of expertise to even get it close to straight without body work and repainting is fucking insane. This is pure wizardry. I own the "best" body shop in my home town and I'm honestly ready to shut the doors after watching this. Its fucking bananas! @@robertenglish3921

this is the third rivian I have seen that had minor rearend damage but the quotes to fix them were over $40,000. panel to fix this is $14,000 all by itself and then you still have to almost take it all apart. as the video said, it is all 1 piece construction so you need to pull the windows and everything out,repaint to match and put it all back together again. at shop rate that isn't cheap. When that cybertruck comes out it will be the same way. cheap to make it in a gigapress all in one piece but it will not be cheap to fix after a minor fender bender.

@@crash9632 it literally is a accurate quote from a body shop. It’s a we don’t want to do it quote but the reality is nobody wants to do it. Same thing happened with the bmw i3 . You might be able to find a cheaper quote but it’s still gonna be 30k. The panel itself is 14k numb nuts . 1/4th of 41k is $10,250; that is less than the parts omega lul.

Amazing. I had my own PDR business for close to 10 years in Jax FL. I did some stuff that I honestly surprised myself with. But there’s no way I would have attempted this one. In fact, I wouldn’t have thought it possible. Yeah I can see some spots that were unfixable in this dent, but I’m honestly in awe that you got it that close. The top edge and the edge against the tailgate would have been absolute deal breakers. Never thought it could’ve gotten even that close. Excellent job! 👍
