Any good autobody shops in the Fremont area?
Any reputable body shops in Fremont?
I just need an estimate on my car after some worthless cockgobbler tapped my front fender while I was at work.
I just got a form from AAA & I call their rep. & they said they're paying for the whole thing so I just need a place that is good.

Stay away from EMC. That place seriously needs to catch on fire, and everyone inside needs to die (Minus the receptionists... they are nice and cute.

I had pretty good luck at TGIF bodyshop when my Legacy had 1 dent on the door and 2 dents on the rear panel above the trunk. They got it fixed and it looked like new.. especially the akward dent I had right next to the door handle which was right on a body line of the car. They're at Grimmer & Enterprise, very close to Subydude's shop.

Pan American Autobody is nearby there I believe. My friend's C32 AMG got hit and they fixed that thing as good as new. Paint was flawless. No orangepeel at all. A+ work.

OMFG!!!
The estimate was almost $700!!! AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Thank god i'm not paying a cent!!! I was thinkin like $100... like 400% markup from Dent pro guy.. cuz it really is just a ding... but the only hard part is ya gotta remove the fender lining to get to it.

just remember...you get to pick where you want to take your car!!! The insurance company cant decide for you. So, get them to cut a check for the est. of $700. then go and pay the dent pro guy $150. to take care of it. You just made $550.
I see it done all the time.

thats not fraud!! They pay you a certain amount...you go to where you want...more expensive, less, or spend the right amount.
but if they pay the shop then you really dont have nothing to worry about.
I dont condone fraud either

I used Fremont Autobody when a truck hit my dad's S430 while it was parked on a street, and used them when I got in an accident.
only complaint is i don't think they primered my front lip when I got it installed
