NoVa Autobody shop recommendations

[SgtP]

Some dumbass lady backed into me and I need some body work done. Its minor, only front bumper, right light and hood. Also the plastic piece behind the bumper that the ram air bolts into. Anyone have a shop the recommend? The person that hit me has USAA and they are extremely good about claims. They called me before I got home and warranty all work done through the body shop for the life of the car. They also pay for my rental. I called my dealer(Bill Britt) and they use Southern Automotive. Any other recommendations? I'm still pretty pissed about the whole thing.

DO NOT GO TO GRAN PRIX. Thats where my dad has taken all of our cars and the paint on the P5 is straight ******. Try the new precision auto on 610 right bay the wawa on eustace. I've heard good things about them

Southern Auto said 2315 to fix it. They said the hood is fine but it needs a new bumper and right headlight. Those damn headlights are ~850!

I've never heard anything bad about southern auto I think you would be pretty safe taking it there. Just, like I said, don't take it to gran prix what ever you do.

only experience i've had with body work is Mr. Spoiler out in Manassas. He does great work on FDs.

bump, Southern Auto is sh!t and didn't fix it to my standards. I'm not sure what the insurance company is going to do but does anyone know the best shop in the area? Im willing to travel for it. Insurance pays for the gas.

Call stock or modified and ask for rick. Many will say they are one of the best around

ill do that today. i go check out the car today again to see if they fixed the repairs. they told me they didnt repaint the bumper so its almost a pointless trip. I already have the insurance company sending the person that over sees the shop so he/she can take a look at the problems. Not sure where it will go from there.

Bump, if you're still looking for a body shop. He does amazing work on show cars and custom stuff. I have also seen some stock/accident cars in there and does a great job. The owner's name is Dan. Kinda crazy guy, but knows his stuff and is very very good.
