How To Choose A Body Shop To Repair Your Car
Body Shop Repair
Having been involved in an happening when my truck was only three months old, and then having re-painting done while restoring a ten year old vehicle, I’ve had some experience with body repair shops.
There are different types of body shops out there as we’re all not looking for the same calibre of work. The first rule I’ll give you is that you get what you pay for. If you want to pay $599.00 to have your entire automobile painted, that’s fine. It might be a large improvement over how your automobile looked initially, but it wouldn’t have suited me in either case mentioned above. I wanted that three month old truck to look like it looked the day I bought it, and the paint on the hood of that ten year old sports automobile had to match the rest of the automobile perfectly.
The ideal way to find a body repair shop is the probably the same way you found your auto mechanic, word of mouth. Speak with friends and work associates, ask your mechanic. Speak to your neighbors and get their opinions. Everyone knows someone who’s had a good, or bad experience. Listen when people speak about their automobiles and experiences they’ve had. I called the dealership where I had bought my truck for a referral.
When you think that you’ve narrowed it down to a particular shop, check with the Superior Business Agency to see if any complaints have been lodged. Remember that you might find they have a few, but no business can keep everyone happy. Speak with the shop manager if you have any questions or concerns.
Take a look around the shop. Is is kept clean? It won’t be sparkling clean due to the type of work, but you shouldn’t see dust and filth and chemicals spilled on floors.
Ask to see their work. They should have before and after photos of their work and will also have automobiles they are currently working on. Do they have letters of recommendation? A lot of business keep letters from happy customers.
