Why paint correction quotes in San Francisco differ
Panel area is the clearest published driver — a truck is more paint to cut and polish than a coupe.
| Vehicle | Typical range | Median | Published by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan / coupe | $350–$650 | $450 | 65 shops |
| SUV / crossover | $400–$800 | $525 | 57 shops |
| Truck / large SUV | $425–$849 | $550 | 46 shops |
National figures: no single city has enough shops stating a vehicle to band it locally. Ask any San Francisco shop which row their quote sits in.
