Yeah, there were a lot of people out there, most people I think I seen at a monthly meeting.

Ernie are you strill a CMC member? Stop by the pancake breakfast and talk to Dan M. His shop is south of were you live, 40th St and Broadway, and he will give you a quality job.

What's the name of Dan's shop? Been trying to find it online, I've found a few in the area, but am not such which it is.

I'm not sure which one you mean, if its Dan Martorano he has a shop at 40th and Broadway, but I really think you need a professional body shop to do that work.

Ok, maybe I'm the one that's confused, I was under the impression Dan's shop was a body shop.

Any how, one of the CMC members told me to check out Arizona Auto Touch-Up, Inc. The wife had the day off today so I sent her down there with the mach. Got quoted $650 for the repair and it would take 3-4 days to do. Does this seem right? I know body work is always expensive, but it's not even 6 square inches that needs to be re-done. Still gonna try elsewhere, but this is my starting point.

that does not sound too far off. i had showcase auto body do a repair on my mazda, and it turned out incredible. and it was a small dent that was about 2 inches, and it cost me 300 to have it fixed. body work can be spendy. thats for certain.

Ok, so I sent the wife out to get a couple more quotes Friday while I was working. This is what we got:

Kustom Koachworks - $1129 - want to replace the quarter panel, had trouble with their system in locating Mach specific parts and color, only could locate GT blues. This makes me nervous. But had really good customer service.

Elite Collision Center - recommended by a co-worker - $1429 - also want to replace quarter panel. Not the best on service, but didn't state anything about having trouble in locating the quarter panel for the mach or the proper paint color.

Corona's Auto Body (little mexican shop toward downtown on Washington) - $500 and they'll have it back in 2 days. Wife previously had her Nissan repaired there after someone backed into it and didn't get too much from insurance.

Not feeling Corona's, don't want a rush job, rather have it done right. But if this is going to end up costing over $1000, I may just turn in into my insurance and pay the $500 deductable. Anybody know how that may effect my rates? Have a completely clean record right now, no tickets, accidents, or other claims within the past 5 years.
