An industry expert explains how to find an auto body shop that can repair that dent or repaint your car the right way.
It’s not uncommon for estimates from different body shops to vary wildly. One shop might give you an estimate for $500 while another wants $2,000 for the work. What’s the difference? And when is it OK to choose the cheaper shop?
John Mallette, owner of Burke Auto Body & Paint, in Long Beach, California, knows better than most people how to choose a reliable shop. Mallette started working on cars when he was 12 years old and has been in the body repair business for 24 years. Here are some of his tips for choosing the right repair facility to work on your car — particularly when you’re the one paying the bills.
Thank you for the helpful information regarding how to find the right auto body shop for you and your car. My wife is really into Anime and so we have been thinking about getting some really cool decals to stick on the side of her car. I do not think that we could ever do this ourselves, so learning that you pay for what you get is important to us. Thanks again!
That’s so true what you said about how one shop will offer a certain price, and then another shop will offer a completely different price for the same job. I’ve heard that this huge difference in price may be a result of the different types of materials that are used during the repair. I’ll be sure to keep the great tips in mind so that I can make sure that I choose the best shop to help me fix up my broken car.
My husband accidently hit the front of our son’s car while backing out the other day. We are now looking for someone to help with the dent repair. As you said, shops have a wide variety of estimates, which is why it’s important to receive some different estimates from different shops and also evaluate their credentials and qualification.
Great tips. Thank you for sharing this.

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any helpful hints for beginner blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
