Glad she's safe. The phone bit is funny. Take your time signing off with the insurance company- back & neck injuries from a rear end hit can take weeks to show up, don't ask me how I know.
Good luck with the repair!

It can be a bad idea to quote without seeing pictures. You never know what is underneath and all accidents are different. You could very well be right about the cost but different people see things different (and ironically read things of forums different too).
Still thanks for sharing! It's good to have an idea of price before walking into a body shop or at least a ballpark.
It should not cost you anything, except the time of dropping off and picking up the car? Even lost resale value can be recouped from the insurance company (state law dependant).
Are they only pounding out the spare tire well?

That's what my spare tire well looked like, the white seam sealer at the top of the picture is supposed to be vertical, it's horizontal. They replaced that pan and the rear body panel on mine. Body labor for that books at 19 hours, that's where most of my $3200 came from. If yours looks anything close, I'm not sure I'd want anything other than panel replacement.
