Auto Body Repair

[kermitology]

So my passenger side rear door picked a fight with the wrong concrete pole and certainly didn't win.

Anyone have suggestions for auto body repair places? I've got a 2006 Mazda 3 Sport

Haha, I just saw your facebook status. That sucks a lot.

I had a really good experience with Contemporary Coachworks. Really good work and fast, too. I remember it being a little pricey though, my insurance covered it.

It really depends on how picky you are about the quality of the repair, and how anally retentive you are about your car.

Concours does good work. I've also had very good experience with Maranello.

Carstar on 9th ave did a great job on my car when I was involved in a hit and run with a drunk concrete pillar.

They're booking for late January and that was 1.5 weeks ago.

I went to Janet's Autobody in bowness - I've used them twice before, great guy, good work, and this time I needed a lot of work and it's taking 1.5 weeks.

And that happens to be close to Kermit too!

I've had positive experiences at both Montgomery Auto Body and Paint in Bowness and Superior Paint and Body on 17thAve near MacLeod.

Right, I totally forgot about my 8 week wait. That was during the summer, too. I kind of cringe to think what their winter waiting lists are like.

I've always been a proponent of taking my car to the dealership to be fixed; as opposed to a 3rd party. I just think they do a better job as they have the exact parts and paint colours needed; and there's a little bit of pride in the work done. Plus they want your car to look good as there's a good chance it will come back to them when you trade in.
