Please Help, Was in a Accident

So for the first time of my life I was in an accident. I took the car to Milam Mazda where I bought it but they dont do body work. So I am being told Kimballs is the place to go....Does anyone know of a better place or have they heard anything good about Kimballs? Thanks in advance, Christina

I dont live in the area, but this is what I could find...

http://www.kimballsautobody.com/about.html
they've been in business for 51 years, usually a good sign

only reference to them I could find, and it's positive

some company info


I'd suggest going down there and asking to see pictures of work they've done. See if you feel comfortable with them, if you don't leave.
Ask to see their repair shop and make sure it's clean and the people working there look like they know what they're doing.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Will the repairs be covered by insurance? Have you talked with the insurance company already? They'll always ask you if you already have a particular auto body shop that you want your car fixed at. If not then they'll give you a list of auto body shops near your area that can help you with the repairs.

Here are three auto body shops that I've dealt business with and have done great repair jobs. You might want to check them out:

I rear-ended a Honda that had jumped into my lane during rush hour. So it was all front end damgage. It was leaking fluids and I think every light that could come on was on.....
