What is the average wheel well cost to replace the entire part?
I inherited my grandfather’s car and it has been sitting out in his driveway for a few years. There’s a ton of rust in the wheel wells and I don’t know what to do. What is the average wheel well cost to replace the entire part?

Sorry you’re dealing with this! Depending on the damage, you can expect repairing the wheel wells to cost between $50 and $2,000.
That’s a wide range, right? Let’s break down your options.
If it’s just a bit of
rust
that can be removed by a trained mechanic, you might pay between $200 and $500. They’ll sand down the area, repair the holes, and repaint the wheel wells. More extensive rust might cost closer to $1,000 or $2,000 to remove.If the damage is primarily contained to the fender liners, you might get away with simply replacing the liners and doing some spot treatment of
minor rust spots
. This is the cheapest of the options by far.Since you are about to become the official owner of this vehicle, now is a good time to ensure you’re happy with your
car insurance
situation. You can use the Jerry
