Hey guys. I got a nearly brand new the other week with a small catch - the previous owner had a habit of turning into poles in her parking garage. The rear passenger door is slightly stoved in, as is the pass. side quarter panel. By "stoved in" I don't mean huge dents, rather the small, 1"-6" type along with a decent amount of paint damage in those areas.
I don't want to tell the car just yet, 'ees going to be a photo surprise. However, it's white.
Any suggestions for good places in the area to go for bodywork?

if you got the car for free i'd think it wouldn't be worth it to get body work done unless it really is a rare gem...

Well, it's an '05 with 8,000 miles on it and my mom wants to give me the work as a gift so I'm trying to find someplace that will at least save her a dime or two. If this were my money I wouldn't really do it, either.

I've only heard good things about Wagonworks, but also heard theres always quite a wait to get work done as they have lots of customers..
D&V Autobody is one of the best body shops in NoVa IMO, located in Chantilly. But be prepared to spend a pretty penny on the work..
I've got mine at a shop right now in rockville, they seemed pretty reasonable on the estimate for the amt of work needed. I'll let you know how they did when I pick it up. Didn't have a backlog either.
Terry's Auto Body in Purcellville is like 1 mile from my house and does amazing work. Price was really good too, much better than Craftsman down the street. Subaru dealerships recommend their customers to them... when I went in last time there was a brand new white 2005 STI that got all fucked up when the owner's friend took it for a drive.
They did good work for me, I highly recommend them.
