I was backed into today. Seems a bright red car is hard to see when your 17 and driving a huge Suburban.

The damage is on the drivers door (hinge aria) and Left ft Quarter panel.
It seems the upper hinge was pushed in slightly where it mounts to the body...

Anybody have a good recommendation for a body shop that knows how to do a proper job and paint something like it was there own baby?

I am beside myself... Only had it a few months.

 

nope but I might know where to hide the body...

 

Not al (or any?) in Montgomery County, but they're all close and recomended..

http://www.colorcrafters.com/ - they put my mini back together and did a real nice job.
http://www.dandvautobody.com/ - no one ever says a bad thing.

PS, if there aren't any scratches you MAY have them popped out by a "dent wizard/doctor/magician" type place.

 

Thanks guys. I will look at those recommendations.

I actually own Dings and Dents... A Paintless Dent repair Co....lol.. The damage is too severe for my magic wands. The paint is cracked too.

It's hard to see in the pic's, but the paint is cracked/ It pushed the hinge into the frame of the car about 1/4 inch as well, so it's gonna need some real body work.

Anyone hear of Euro Pros Collision Center In Gaithersburg? I have had a few say they do great work.

 

D&v auto body in n.VA.

 

I've had Europros do work for me. It's quality work if a little slow. They also do the body work for Rockville Porsche I believe. Call them and speak to Jack, the owner.

 

Mile one collision has done some good work for me.

I've hard Europros is all about the bodywork, but NOT about the paint.

 

+1 on D&V.

 

yeah my sister has had her boxster there a couple times.

they do great work.

 

Look no further than Derreck and Jack at Europros in Gaithersburg MD. They do a very nice job, give them a call and tell them Sunir sent you...ask for Derreck first and then if you can't reach him then ask for Jack.

 

Thank's again for all the help guys!
I stopped by Euro Pros today and had Derrick look the car over and make me an estimate for what they could see. He promised to do the job right the first time, and to guarantee the work for life. He wants to replace most of the effected panels, and will be painting/blending the rear door and hood to get a good match. He looked me straight in the eye and said there would be no issues with the bodywork or the paint.
The parking aria and shop looked bad when I drove in, I was turned off a bit. But Derrick's confident reassurance gave me a feeling that there may still be people who take their craft seriously.

I still want to check out D&V in Sterling, But at least I have an idea now.
Thanks for all the recommendations. I will keep you posted on the progress.

How surprised was I that her insurance company did not call me back today......

Took a few better pic's today too.


The upper hinge damage at the "A" pillar...

 

Derrick will take care of you...let him know Sunir sent ya so he knows I'm putting out a good word for them, I told them I would. They are going to move soon they are outgrowing the current spot. I've heard good things about D&V but they seem a bit more pricey and they are pretty far away. The guys from Europros were some of the top guys from wagonworks and branched out on their own after a change in location or management (I think), Derrick and Jack are two brothers who founded Europros...

 

I work for hbl of Tysons at the bodyshop. From the looks of it the door needs to be replaced. The problem with Audi doors is that there is very little support for the door skin. If you try to fix the door it will flex to much and the body filler can and will fall out. Just a heads up
