What's the cost to fix rust on a car door?
I have some rust on my passenger side door–there’s no doubt I’ll have to take my car in to get it fixed. What’s the cost to fix rust on a car door generally?

It depends on the size and severity of the rust! Medium-sized rust patches can start at $60 for repairs. But major rust repairs, to the extent that there are holes through the door panel, can cost $500-$800 or even more.
If your car has become so rusty that it is no longer cost-effective to fix it, you may be able to recover some value by reselling it as a junker.
And while rust damage typically
isn’t covered by insurance
, there are still ways to save money if you end up paying for repairs. You can start by comparing insurance
