Anyone know of any cheap auto body shops...
that do good work?
My mom drove with me to look at a store that I was interested in renting. She was running late for work and backed up while turning and a phone pole must've been in her blind spot.
She dented her entire door and part of the back door. Needless to say she was hysterical going back to work and I dropped her off. I just went to a local body shop with her car and they quoted me $2300!!! which I think is insane. She didn't ram into the pole- I thought she just kind of scraped it- that's how it felt anyway. I feel terrible b/c she was trying to help me out and I would like to fix it for her if I can afford to. Anyone have any suggestions? We're way out on the North Fork but I'd be willing to travel. TIA!

My dad has a friend who owns his own body shop. He's honest and does excellent work. I can ask him if he knows the name of the store.

If you would I would appreciate it. I don't know what my mom's going to do but when I mentioned going thru ins. she said no.

No, she said she didn't want to go thru insurance. I guess my dad's gotten a couple of tickets since their policy renewed and she doesn't want the worry of dealing with them. That was my first suggestion.

Sorry to say, but it's probably better to go through the insurance company and get it fixed asap...the tickets won't show up for a good three/four months.

Thanks Ginger- maybe I can take a ride there on Monday. I'll have to give them a call and check out their hours. Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm taking my car on Monday to be fixed. It was hit this past weekend.
It's a scrape and the light (fog) is broken.
Im taking it to :
Atlantic Auto Body
Jericho TPK in Huntington...
Right across from Huntington Town House.
My father recommended it to me after his accident last year. He said they are very fair and do great work. I saw my parents van and have to agree, they did do a good job.

An infinity - not sure what year, 90something I think. I think it's eggplant colored (like a berry plum color).

My father in law used to work for the guy. He fixed my car after a really bad accident and you couldn't tell there was any damage. He was really good!
