Need a body shop

Derek · 09-17-2007, 05:15 PM

Well i scraped a poll a few weeks ago, which left the rear of my car pretty damaged. So I'm looking for a decent body shop that handles insurance claims.

I would love a new paint job (rest of my car has many scratches and dings) but I'm not really sure how that would work out with my insurance.

So I was wondering what are the chances i could get a new paint job along with getting the dents fixed and what not, and if anyone knows a good shop that will work with me to get a new paint job and fix the damage through insurance.

No insurance will pay for a new paint job, they will pay to restore it to pre accident condition and only pay for the damage that was caused by the accident, IF your lucky, the adjusters job is to pay out a little as possible, and any shop that writes a higher estimate and try to get the full paint time in the insurance claim is committing insurance fraud, and that is not good, esp if they reinspect the car and see that. But you may be able to get blend time on panels and you can pay a lil bit more to fix the minor dents that were there before. Hope this helps.
