Any one recommend a good body shop?

JerryK73 · 07-29-2011, 01:33 AM

So last night while I was at work some jack ass backed into my car and took off. They caved in the corner of my rear bumper on the driver's side so I need a body shop that can pop that out and make sure the paint is smooth. Any one know a good place to take it to?

Dang. Sorry to hear. I recall the Houston guys take it to some body shop called Metropolitan?

Metropolitan Collision.

Great customer service, and for me, a quick turn around.

Lots of nice cars there, too. Must be the place to go for Europeans in general. Last I remember, they don't accept Fred Loya insurance though... or work with specific adjusters... I love it

There's a big board in the front detailing who they wont work with.
