What is a good way to find a good auto body shop?

Posted by Published in Body Auto Shop

Is there a website or approach to finding a good auto body shop in an arbitrary location? Most people say "ask friends" but if you are new to an area, is there another way?

Many Insurance companies have lists of "approved" shops. All those shops do, to get on a list, is give that particular insurance company special rates, etc., in order to gain business. They are not necessarily better than any other shop.
For a good body shop you need to look for a clean, mom and pop shop that has listed testimonials and has been in business for a number of years. I would stay away from big chain shops. People’s credibility is hingent on their customer testimonials and the duration of their business. Sometimes you can learn alot from a company’s website, if they have one. Many body shops put their testimonials right on their website. Others will proudly list the number of years that they are in business, etc.

Good luck.
