Body Shop recommendations in Boston - Benzworld.org

BoatsontheBrain · 07-19-2007, 07:00 AM

Could anyone recommend a high-quality body shop in the Boston area? I have used Dick's Auto Body (a PCA advertiser) a couple of times and have been very happy with the work. I now need a couple of additional estimates for insurance purposes and was hoping to find a shop in the same general area.

Thanks for any info!

On my hate list:
Clair Autobody (yeah, I know, part of Clair, but they still suck)
Stadium Autobody
Acura of Boston's body shop

They've done things like do paint jobs w/ little bubbles on the clear coat, leave the interior filthy, leave stuff misaligned, leave clips off, etc.

Invisible Touch Incorporated under Auto Body & Collision Repair Category in Bedford, MA at Yellowbook.com
And what did you get done by them that you recommend them?

Man, sorry to hear that. Probably some drunk bastard who could only dream of owning a benz.

Yep...just no respect for other peoples' property :-P

BTW, do you guys ask your body shops what kind of paint they use? I went to Clair last time because they use the official MB PPG paints, but they still got bubbles in the clearcoat, did overspray, blotchy paint, and had drips, and chipped the side marker lens so I'm not planning to try them again. When they worked on my brother's C, they lost some mud flap clips and yanked some off another flap for the one they lost the clips from :-P

FWIW, my brother's hate list includes Dick's Auto Body (they didn't glue back on the rub strips on the door on his old Camry) and Stadium Auto body (bad color match on his old Camry).

I'm trying to find a body shop that doesn't suck, at this point...
