Economy must be good in Bucks county area.

I've seen a few posts from the Southern Cali guys coming at under $1100 parts and labor.
There must be a lot of competition.

Around here there are not many places, I can only think of two off the top of my head that are within an hour driving distance (one is a forum member). The rate seems to be about $600 for the top and $800 labor. I imagine this is a 4-5 hour job for someone who has done many. So it's expensive if you compare it to indedpent Porsche mechanic rates between $85-$110. But not as expensive as the paintless dent repair guy on a time worked per $$$ basis. Those PDR guys can make $600 in the time it takes me to microwave a frozen pizza and then they're done for the day.
