Good bodyshops?

Hey guys... about 2 weeks ago, I was involved in a hit-&-run. Someone dragged their front fender up along side my passenger side door and rear 1/4 (@$%!ing parking lots). I've also got a couple non-accident related dings in the same rear quarter.

I took my car into ICBC an had an adjuster give me an estimate on the total damage. Turns out it was less than the cost of the deductable ($300) and told me that I'd be better off to avoid the minor claim and just pay for the repair out of my own pocket.

If any of you could recommend an good and -honest- body shop, I'd greatly appreciated it.

Hmmm... do you actually know anyone there? I used to work for Don Beck in White Rock (detailing) so I know what goes on in that shop - very good work. It, too, is a bit pricey though. :-s

You can call my buddy Mike from Spotlite collision: 604-322-9494
or my buddy James at New West Auto Metal: 604-290-3848

Mike does high quality work, and you pay for it. James will give you an awesome deal. Tell them you are a friend of Ryan, and they should give you a deal.

I go to Eagle Collision in Poco, top notch work and great prices. These guys have done custom show cars plus if you ask they will touch up rock chips for free, at least they did for me. I've sent a few guys there and they are all totally satisfied. I've had my 95 TA and my 02 firehawk there for some paint work. I had a stress crease in my rear quarter panel on the hawk and they repainted it for 3 bills. I saw your damage Goldfires and I'd say a few hundred bucks should take care of your damage. Good luck with whoever you choose.
