How to choose
A Qualified Body Shop

When you've been involved in an accident, you have the right to choose the body shop you feel will do the kind of work you want done. There are hundreds to choose from, many good, some not so good. Here are a few things to look for:

1. Is it clean? How well a shop takes care of its own place of business will give you an idea of how well they will take care of your car.

2. Is it organized? By this time, you've been inconvenienced enough. You want to put your car into the competent hands of people who will do the job right and deliver when promised.

3. How's their reputation? Ask the dealer who sold you your car, friends, or business associates. Find out who does the good work in town.

4. Take a look at their work. It's easy to tell good body work. You can't see it! The best repairs aren't suppose to show. Ask to see some of the work in progress and a completed job, if available. A good shop is proud of their work and should be more than happy to show you around their premises.

5. How are you treated? Deal with people who give you a feeling they are honest, competent and willing to do their best for you.

6. Are they well-equipped? The vehicles of the 90's and 2000's are built differently and it takes special equipment to repair them. Make sure you trust your car to the shop that has invested in the most up-to-date equipment and technology. That way, you will be assured of quality work.

7. Is body repair their main business? Find out if the shop depends on quality body repair for their reputation and income or whether they are supported by car sales or other sources of income.
