All depends on if the ribs were damaged as well. LAMEs usually carry the metal required for reskinning, but it's a good opportunity to check for corrosion while they're in there. The horizontal stab mounts will also be checked. Decide if the quote is more than the insurance excess (which it more than likely will be).

Remember, if it's got wheels, tits or wings (alternately, flies, floats or fcks), it's gonna cost ya.
