Just had to pick between a full quarter panel or a section repair on a 2020 Silverado

The truck had a big dent from a parking lot hit, right at the wheel arch. I could either replace the whole panel for about $1200 in parts plus labor, or cut and weld in a smaller section. I went with the section to save the customer money and keep more factory metal. It took me an extra 3 hours to get the weld lines perfect and the metal straight. Now I'm thinking, was saving that money worth the extra time and risk of a visible seam? When do you guys choose a full panel over a section?

Lol, sounds like you just gave that truck a fancy new scar for half the price.

That's a solid burn, @julias44. What did the truck do to deserve it?
