Oh yeah, bodyshop recommendation for you in the DCMP thread...
Got your recommendation... thanks!

I Also posted the following in the DCMP thread... anyone have any thoughts or experience with this shop?

"What do you guys think about the following?
My claims adjuster from progressive reccomended these guys:

http://www.chiltonautobody.com/

The claims adjuster knew a lot about subaru's & wrx's, sounded pretty young, (said he used to race w/ a few guys who own subies). It sounded like he was almost a sales guy for Chilton's and talked about how they do really good work etc.

I checked their website and they have links to Progressive (my co.) and other insurance companies. I'm wondering if I go to this Chilton's place if they'll keep the interests of Progressive over my interests and satisfaction because they obviously have some sort of business relationship w/ progressive.

Any thoughts? (I'm leaning towards Sunny Auto Body right now)"

I got some stuff painted at Sunny, they do a decent job.

If you are looking at top level work and going through insurance, I recommend Charles Henry (415) 673-7900. A friend of mine, Vi, works there and they do excellent work on everything from Camrys to Austin Martins there. Everything comes out looking like new from the dealer. Call to see if they have time, they are usually pretty booked up.

Also, right around the corner is Cars Dwydiak (sp?) which restores vintage sports cars and also does auto body repair. They are pretty good as well and top notch work on Ferraris, Porsches etc.

Thanks for all of the recommendations guys.

I just got off a long phone call with my insurance adjuster and grilled him on how their business relationship is set up. I think I'm going to go to the place he recommended. Sounds like a solid, 1st rate shop and the work is guaranteed by both progressive and the shop for as long as I own my car.

Maaco in San Jose has good prices, but that might be too far for you. and I just know about their prices, my old car died before I actually got it repainted. but yeah, now you get good paint! sorry to hear about that though
