Sacramento Area - Body Shop Needed!

I need a good body shop in the Sacramento area. I live in Roseville/Rocklin but anywhere in the Sac area will do. I need a shop that can/willing to work with aftermarket body parts etc. I recently had my whole Chargespeed front lip/bumper destroyed by something I hit in the middle of the highway late Saturday night. I would prefer a shop that will work with me providing a quote on the higher price scale for the insurance funds to replace the authentic Chargespeed front lip/bumper with an entire new "replica" kit.

I appreciate any insight and recommendations.

ug...no

I know that some people have had better experiences with Berts then I did, but I will never go back to that place.

the only shop that I never had problems with is Autocraft. They were also the only shop I ever dealt with that actually called with updates and delivered multiple cars on-time. they did have to push out the completion date on one vehicle once, but they called with plenty of time, apologized and promised (and delivered) on the new date.

Berts messed up two cars of mine, one had to have the rear control arms fixed as all they did was to slot the frame holes for the arms to get it to align correctly.

Bert's loves us long time... with the exception of Mr X. :-X

sorry duder...totally forgot about your *Rave review* of them.

BodyCraft ****ED me over BIG TIME.... NEVER GO THERE. Alta Sierra BodyCraft = worst place ever..... They lost 40% of the driver side of my A6 and the entire front clip. Like it was ****ing MAGIC.

Bert's has done my wagon, twice. Great customer service, and did excellent work on the car in both cases.
