How to Find a Good Body Shop
Wise consumers use the same criteria for choosing a body shop that they use for other types of auto repair: a good reputation, highly skilled technicians, proper equipment, and emphasis on quality repairs. Don’t choose a shop based on its advertising.
To check on a shop’s reputation, ask people in the area what kind of experiences they’ve had with the shop. Ask your mechanic which body shops do the best work, then call the local Better Business Bureau to see if they have a satisfactory rating. And don’t be afraid to ask a shop to show you their credentials; look for diplomas or certificates that verify training in the types of repairs they perform. Visit the shop to see some of the cars they’ve just repaired and inspect them closely
To find well-trained technicians, look for shops that employ mechanics and well trained. If they’re also certifled by ASE in damage repair and structural analysis, that’s also a plus.
