Default Caar Body shops

Looking to get a fender repainted and was wondering if CP has any recommendations for quality body shops with stand-up staff

I don't know anyone in Calgary, but in general with body work, I usually end up saving a lot of money using backyard mechanics. Usually by word of mouth, I can find the cousin of a friend-of-a-friend to do it. Body shops seem to way over charge from my experience.

Carstar on 9th ave was a little pricey, but the best experience I've had at a body shop to date. My car came back fully detailed in and out, including leather conditioner, and they reprogram your radio stations for you!

I've used A-1 Autobody in Inglewood for years. They've always been great to deal with.

Yep, one of my very good friends has used them on multiple occassions and A1 not only does great work, but the one time he had a re-occuring issue, they fixed it for free because they guarantee their work.
