Bodyshop for SCs in SoCal
My car is going to need some work -- both mechanical & body from this accident.
Anyone know of an excellent bodyshop that won't yank me around and does a great job?
Thanks,
John

I'll have it towed within 100 miles of LA (malibu) I think.
I got rear-ended, so I don't think it's my fault. I've got AAA too.

But hey, if you have insurance doing it, who cares. Go there cuz they do great work.

if you guys could keep those recomendations coming, I'd appreciate it. The insurance wants to repair the car, so I've gotta find a shop that will do a top notch job.
Thanks a bunch,

What insurence company are you refering to? His your yours? You might get a better deal if you go to one or the other. Also consider the depreciation value

the assesor said that he thought the car was repairable, for 3.5k. In other words, we're going to be playing a big fat supplimental claims game.

It all depends on ur car's ACV (Actual Current Value.) If the car has not yet been torn down, then that's only a preliminary estimate. Adjuster can total the car after the car been torn down, or just not pay the exceed amount if the supplement exceed the max repair amount. Usually the adjuster (field adjuster, not inside adjuster) should have an idea how much the whole repair is gonna cost and will tell the bodyshop what's the max repair amount. We had a Bimmer at my shop from AAA which the max repair amount is at around $6700. The first estimate came out to be $6000, which means my supplement can only be $700.
It's really not that complicated.........or maybe because I deal with these stuff everyday at my shop.
