Some ..... (adjectives left to your imagination) person in a Passat rear-ended my 05 last night in a really bad way. I've got it at a body shop currently for estimate but I'm not liking what I hear so far. If anyone has recommendations for a good shop that will put genuine parts back on it would be greatly appreciated.

My mazda dealer told me to go to this place called Dallas Roadster. They gave me a paint estimate of 300$ for the rear bumper, no fitment. This seemed cheap so I am going to use them soon, but you should try them out. I think that the dealer knows what he is talking about when talking about the body shop. That is, I HOPE he knows what he's talking about.

not necessarily, a lot of the dealers don't know dick about which bodyshop to go to, ask around on local forums and such (here, 7club, etc.), there may even be some Dallas specific forums out there, do your homework before listening to a stealership, I didn't and I'm still suffering from a crappy job that occurred because of a body-shop/dealership snafu. There's also citysearch etc.

Thanks - I was recommended to Dallas Roadster yesterday. I had hoped that Rotary Performance would do some work but alas, only performance stuff...
