Go to your insurance first, see which ones they like to use. That makes things easier. But I have had good luck with SprayCraft auto. They are under new ownership.

Well go to the Insurance first if your going to claim it.

I'm currently dealing with Grovestreet. They're only okay in my book...quality is kinda lacking, but I'm picky.

I got my old car done at Grove Street. It was certainly passable and they are easy to work with. I also wasn't very picky during the inspection because I was getting rid of the car soon.

True, they are easy to work with. They are correcting everything I have issue with so I shouldn't really be talking shit.

Gilson's is only good if you're on their "friends" list.

I had my SVX done there, and they put some retard on the car or something. It turned out looking like shit, I had to have them do a *ton* of touch-up work and it still was only about a 6/10 job IMO. Plus they charged me $1000 over the estimate w/o confirming it with me, which had to come out of my pocket because my insurance was already paying the max they would pay w/o totalling the car.

-1 for Gilson's here.
