Body Shop questions
Hey guys
As some of you know, I got myself into an accident. I've been searching the forums far and wide for some body shop suggestions. I've come up with Joe at Backyard Creations and Kennedy at Premier Auto Collision.
Which one would you guys suggest? My parents are insisting I get it done at a Lexus dealer. I would rather get it done at a shop that has good references, such as Backyard. How expensive is Joe? I heard he has great work but can get pricey. I know the accident I got into but, still, I would rather it not get too pricey for me. Also, I've heard good things about Premier Auto Collision but apparently Kennedy (who everyone seems to be referring to) no longer works there?
Thanks in advance for any input, guys. I really need it!

P.S. Never mind, Kennedy is still working at Premier. I guess he just isn't working today. Some unfortunate word choice by Hector, I guess!

Oh I gotcha. I talked to Hector, who said that Kennedy would still be at Premier for a couple of months. He said Kennedy would be working on my car anyway?
Should I not go with Premier if Kennedy is unable to work on it? Joe at Backyard is moving to a new place as well, in a month, so I guess I am in the same boat either way...

when i took my car to kennedy back in end of may, he said he would stop taking in cars in the next week or so. so unless he's changed his mind, i don't think he's working on cars right now. i've also called the shop many times looking for kennedy about 2 weeks ago but he was never there, so if he's not there how can he be working on cars?
i've heard great things about marco's autobody. they have several locations too. my friend just got her car back from them, but we noticed a small nick in the paint on a part they replaced. we pointed it out to them and they said they'll take care of it. guess what they did to take care of it? they just used touch up paint to touch it up. at least they gave her the bottle of touch up paint hahah. she didn't really care cuz it was part of the lower rear bumper and she's not all that **** about her car anyways. if it was me, i wouldn't let that fly.
i was planning on taking my car to marco's but decided to go down the street to C&C per a friend's recommendation. they did a good job in the actual work they did, but little gripes here n there make it hard for me to personally recommend them.

Take the car to Marco's. It's a big reputable shop, and they do nice work.
I've seen few cars painted by Backyard.....honestly, not worth the money he charged. U can get about the same quality work for at least 50% to 70% less in price.
