Autobody shop?

[bryghtrose.livejournal.com]

Hey all,

Can anyone recommend a good autobody shop? I was in a mior accident and got my rear quarterpanel and bumper banged up. Price isn't an option, as the insurance is covering everything. I'm looking for quality work here (my last time at an auto-body shop the mechanic broke a window in my car and had to keep it an extra week). The car's an 03 Honda Civic, if it matters.

Thanks :)

I've had to take my car twice to Hanson and Tilton, they're just across the Arlington border along Broadway, 781-643-3644. They did a great job the first time, good work and beating their original time estimate, and the second time they went out of their way to make sure my car was drivable, if not completely finished, just before they went on a week's vacation this summer.

Getting them to finish up the last little bit since the vacation has been a pain, but otherwise they were totally great.

I suggest, also, checking with your insurance company if they have particular shops they endorse in some way -- sometimes they let some shops handle all the payment paperwork for you, while others have to pay you and then have you pay the shop. Not having to think about it was nice.

Thanks.

I did ask my insurance if they had any recommended shops in Somerville, and they sent me a list of about 100 shops within Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, Medford, Belmont, Melrose, Malden, etc. that they deal with. I chose my previous mechanic (that broke the window) from this list based on it's proximity to where I worked and no other reason. While I have ~100 insurance-recommended mechanics and auto body shops, I'd like to hear what some people have actually experinced.
