Good Body Shop?
Greetings, Northwesterners! This is my first post here on the NW forum, having recently moved to Washington from Massachusetts.
Sadly, even more recently, I managed to bash the side of my Shinka on a cement pillar in a parking garage, and now must find a body shop for the repair. Can anybody recommend a good body shop in the Bellevue, WA area? Almost as helpful, can anybody recommend any places *to stay away from*? I'm more than a little concerned about finding someone who will be able to get the Shinka black cherry right.
advTHANKSance,
Krankor

Someone backed into the driver's door of our RX-8 in a parking lot (with her Expedition); it's in Bel-Kirk Auto Body in Kirkland now. If you remind me, I'll let you know how it went (it's on her insurance company's nickel). This is our first body work in ten years of living here.

Thanks anyway!

Let that be a note to business types. Be sure your associations are quality.

Taylor's Autobody in Renton does a great job! My bro got in an accident with his civic and they did a great job w/ the paint. Recently I went to Auburn Autobody to get some body work on my 8 and they did a good job as well (fixed my fender, repaint the front and side fender, debadged the front and rear trunk).
