bondo repair

i was just wondering if anyone had their 1/4 panel repaired with bondo. i've heard different things abount bondo. some say that it'll fall off if you apply pressure on it. some say that it's like cement, it'll stay on there forever. i just had a car accident and i fishtailed into a bus.

Bondo is not used to repair a vehicle, it is used to make the vehicle lines prefect after the metal work. If your 1/4 panel is repairable, they will applly heat and cold to expand and shrink the metal to work it and will only use bondo to smooth out the minor imperfections.
