Autobody shop recommendations?
Posted by FascistThanos@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 7 comments
Hi all, I recently got into a bad accident where another driver T-Boned me at an intersection. My vehicle is almost certainly totaled, but I want to get a few estimates before I give up on it. I'll be paying out of pocket, so I'm looking for cheap but relatively good-quality suggestions in the DFW area. Just body work (frame damage and paint), I can do interior work myself. There are a ton of independent ones here, but most reviews don't mention how much they were charged. Anyone with experience around here would be a godsend.
Before you comment:
I know it's not financially super smart, but I can't get a similar vehicle for less than $13,000. I also know that cheap and good quality rarely go together, but I'm willing to look anyway as my car is important to me.

Why are you paying out of pocket if you got t-boned by someone else? You should have contacted your insurance company and let them handle this.

It's a long story, but insurance has been dealt with, and I'll have to pay out of pocket.

Awesome, how bad was the damage & how much did he charge? If you have pictures, that'd be great. How did he evaluate the car? Was it pictures or did he come see you in person? Thanks so much
