Who should I take my car to?
Car's been in pieces all week. Finally get it up and running and no more than 4 hours later I get hit in an intersection.
Front left end is fuxored. Wheel's out of whack and rubbing. Rubbing being an understatement, axle may be bent or broken. Front 1/4 panel and sideskirt wrecked. Bumper might be a write off also. Leaning funny to that side.

While you all ponder that question, I'm going to go pour myself a TALL vodka tonic.

If the other person is at fault their insurance should cover it and their insurance will have a shop that you will go to. If your looking to avoid insurance altogether for whatever reason i know Miracle in Dublin does a good job. They made my brothers car look brand new and the entire front end was smashed. Hope this helps -Todd-

P.S. it would help if you tell us where your located so people might be able to recommend a shop closer to your area.

When my car was destroyed, the way I found a good place was by calling the dealer where I purchased my car and asking who they would recommend. They recommended one of the best shops in town.
Who do you have for insurance? Some insurance companies have great shops on their authorized repair lists, and if you have a trustworthy company that you know only recommends OEM parts, you might be able to get a good reference from them.
Or get a list from the above two sources, post the list here and ask for feedback on which is the best (and most expensive

I'm probably going to take it to Gullicks. They really did do a great job on Samantha's. Besides, I know the guys now, so who knows, maybe I can get my Kaminari side skirts or get my antenna shaved off while they're at it.
