    Need a good body shop

    I think my car is cursed. The latest installment of bad luck happened while leaving work tonight- one of the other guys backed into me when I stopped to let another car out. I guess it didn't help that his truck is so high he actually had to get out before he could see me.

    Anyway, does anyone have advice on where to take it for repair? It looks like the damage is isolated to the right rear, with the door untouched, the bumper uncracked, and the suspension seemingly unbent. Could have been much worse.

    Re: Need a good body shop

    Damn, sorry to hear that. Accidents DO happen so it's always nice to have a good reputable body shop available.
    We use Centers three collission center in Lynnwood. They are very familiar with the NSX, and we refer all of our customers there, Acura and non Acura. He recently fixed a 2003 NSX for a customer of mine that had an encounter with a deer. My customer clipped it's leggs and the deer flipped up causing damage to the hood, roof, and rear trunk of the car. The repair is beautiful, with no indication what so ever of prior damage. Almost 20k in damage. Contact them at 425-771-2388. Ask for Dano and tell them that I sent you so they will take extra good care of you.

    I'm sorry to hear that, I was secretly hoping someone backing theri car into my front end, (so I can do an 02 conversion.) Is his insurance going to cover it??

    Yeah, talked to the other guy's insurance company this morning, it looks like they're going to admit fault and cover everything even before seeing a police report.

    Also talked to Dano at Centers 3 (thanks Charles!) and it seems like everything will go pretty smoothly. Even got a PM from Ravi at umbrella auto, looks like they've got a pretty good collection of parts- if the shop will work with used stuff.

    Right now I just want to do whatever I can to make the repair process faster. I think I'm spoiled- I didn't realize just how much I love my car until I had to spend a day driving something else.

    Re: Need a good body shop

    yuck! sorry to hear about this man.

    Body Shops??? Come up to Bellevue, just off Bel-Red Road there are some great ones...RNR, Bellevue Auto Rebuild and there is always Queen City Auto Rebuild in Redmond.

    Hope everything works out ok with whatever shop you go to.
