Body Shop Suggestions/Advice

[blackenedman]

Looking for suggestions/advice for body work. Wifes 2016 VW Passat was rear-ended this morning. Fairly significant damage to bumper/decklid. We've only owned the car 1 week, looking for someone that can put it back as close to new as possible.

Other driver is insured, appears no one is injured, thankfully. Wife is pretty sore, and quite upset about the car, being only a week old.

Any advice, suggestions, good thoughts are welcome...

Thanks!

Edited to add: Looking in Indy metro area.

I believe AllenM is a body shop owner. He will probably chime in shortly.

I anti-recommend Reynolds on West Washington.

Great guy, good price, used by several insurers...

It was JUST a dented fender with no other parts damaged. I get the effin' thing back with a headlight that was then loose, and about half the screws in the top of the fender missing. I guess I should be happy they put the plugs back in the wheel well cover?!

Not pleased.

You said "metro area" - I would unconditionally recommend Langford's Collision Repair located just off Zionsville Road and 86th St. They provide a lifetime guarantee on their repairs. They've been in business 30 years and have second generation ownership.

They have repaired three vehicles for me - from close to a total loss to a minor fender bump.

I've had Allen / Diamond Collision work on both firearms and cars. If I needed more work done, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I did auto body repair for close to 40 years.
I know Diamond Collision and Allen.
Diamond's staff is second to none and Allen's work ethic attention to detail is on top of the board.
Professional shop with no shortcuts. Top of the line frame and measuring systems, welders, and equipment.
I have no problem in recommending Diamond and Allen.

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations. I think we've narrowed down a repair facility. It appears this crash has taken a turn for the worse, and will be a personal injury claim. And recommendations for an attorney are also greatly appreciated!
