Recommend a good body shop

So in rolling my fenders, the quarter became bacon and I decided to leave it to prevent further damage (Yes I used the Eastwood tool not a baseball bat!) Its a tiny section, but the metal is so creased I'm afraid it might have to be shaved, and since this car just got painted thats a big NO for DIY'ing it. Looks like this: Also I have a set of side skirts that need something stronger than 3m tape (used the EXTREME bond one), velcro, ect. Essentially to sit flush with the body they need to be bonded on there with some sort of epoxy, again, fresh paint, let someone who does this for a living take care of it. Does anyone know a body shop that would perform these services?

Autobody Pro Shop is a good shop.

Autobody Pro Shop is a good shop.

To each their own opinions and experiences, but my experiences here are not the same. They really messed up the top of my old truck after an EZup punched a hole through it in a windstorm. The paint job was really thin, and 3M stopped honoring their seam seal warranty after the 3rd trip back with leaks and rust. Just a datapoint to consider.

Chris Lacey has been a few accidents and when I asked him awhile back about my fenders I messed up as well he recommended to me Dan's Auto Body or Curb Appeal.

Had shopped a few around here. Dan's on 42 north had a good rep but prices were high for non-insurance work.

I'll plug curb appeal also, they did some work on my S4 and the van when a lady backed into it. They also redid the driver door for the 2002. The classic car guy that used to work at dans is now with curb appeal and he did a great job. Took the car back a few times as I was sourcing trim and he helped mount it and showed me a few tips about how to do that, adjust the hood, etc.

Over all real happy with the quality of work and Jim's willingness to work with me on prices for non insurance work.
Oh, and they also kicked me a can of touch up paint so I could do some rock chips.

Ill have to give Curb Appeal a try. Whats the best shop for alignments around here? Place I usually go to is 80 for all wheels and they give me a specs sheet of before and after. Anywhere around here do that?

i *think* Big L Tire downtown is where i had the S4 done, gave me a print out of the before/after specs. think price was right around 80-90
