I went to Chippy aka Micropaint in the N.E. to get an estimate on a rust repair just above my windshield. The guy was not interested in doing the work at all, told me to go to a body shop because the job was too big for him. The spots were small, I thought that was the type of thing they did. But nope, the estimate guy did not want to touch the car. I ended up doing the repair myself, although I was not able to match the paint as well as a body shop could have.

BTW I emailed several people on Kijiji that supposedly do body work not a single one ever replied to me.
I know what you mean. A lot of shops won't get back to you for a small job like that. The one I went to is called Wood Chip Auto (403-451-9602). They repaired a small spot on my wheel wells and on one of my doors. Still looks great after a couple of years.
