Got hit in a parking lot this afternoon and need a quote. Any body shop suggestions?

Thanks.

When I had work done on my '96 Audi A4q, I went to Automotive Collision Specialists and was very impressed with the work. They were top notch but that's probably been 8 years or so.
Check this link from the local euro (mostly BMW) enthusiast forum. This may shed some light on who is good. You may also want to do a search on that site.

Good luck with the repair.

I have a good friend that works at Southern States VW in Raleigh. He does amazing paint work and I won't let anyone touch my cars but him. He has done many jobs for me, the most recent being a re-paint of the front bumper on my 01 Jetta. The paint matched perfectly. If you go there for an estimate, ask Chris MacWilliams to do the painting. You can tell him I sent you. :)

True2Form has a chain of shops in the area, and that's who my insurance company routed me to after I damaged my front bumper and quarter panel on the Golf a couple of years ago. Time and amount were as quoted (insurance paid), they have a lifetime warranty on the repair, and after 2 years I still can't see where the damage was, which is the point after all.

Yup, that is where I went for my quote. Although I don't think I will turn it in becasue her paint washed off my car after one of our big rain storms here last week.

Thanks for the replies!!

I got hit in downtown Raleigh this weekend :( I was in my buddy's wedding. Luckily I didn't drink a whole lot at the reception. It was kind of funny to file the police report while I was wearing a monkey suit. :D Have to look at the cup as if it's half full.

You still recommend True2Form?

Luckily I haven't had occasion to need them so I can't say if things have changed, but they are still around.
