Check with friends, associates, family members, neighbors,,,, ask, ask, ask. In regards to the association with insurance companies, we've been in business 20 years and I prefer not to be aligned with any insurance company. We still stay REAL busy because the people around here know we do excellent work.

55 gallon drums of Bondo behind shop . . .
 Body shops, especially the prep areas are not as neat as mechanic bays, but the spray area should be. Take a look at the other works in progress to see how good their prep, masking, etc. is. A busy shop is a good sign and check whether they're authorized for the major auto insurance carrier work, like State Farm, Farmers, Allstate, that warranty the repair work.

OK guys shes in the shop and they are doing excellent work to it. I had problems on the hood area and roof where the clearcoat was gone and basically a big white spot.
They are stripping the whole car right down to the bare metal and then putting the proper primers and paint then a base and clearcoat. I remembered to ask to look at some cars that were done already and they looked fantastic and just like factory....maybe better.  One car was done 5yrs ago and still looked amazing. It will be done in 2 weeks cause they said they take their time and dont do sloppy work....and it was said honestly. So we will see what happens!
