Default Yeah, I remember when I totally wrecked my new Toyota Tacoma...

I must've had it for all of 3 months, and Bam! I rear ended a guy on the freeway. Anyway, did thousands of dollars of damage to my new truck. I was totally devastated. Didn't even want to drive anymore for a while.

But now I'm over it. In fact, I look back on it now and realize it has made me a better driver. (Although one who pays much more for insurance.)

Default I see you're in my hood. Where did this happen, and what did happen anyway?

Then we will pass judgment. :-)

Default I was thinking the same thing. As you get older you realise how little it actually takes 4 a total.

They all look repairable when you're young - at least they did for me.

Default Info.........

Trident Auto Body up north in Crystal Lake is supposed to be very good. I would've taken my car there, but they couldn't get me in until September (not too far away now anyway). Ask for Greg Jr. if you call.

I ended up taking mine to Neat Street II in Aurora. They've been very accomodating so far - we'll see how the car turns out before I register a final verdict though. They do have a good rep though.

Default Neat Street is excellent. My dad has had 30k worth of work done there repairing his old A6 twice...

great work. If you go to Laurel Audi in Westmont they have a rep from Neat Street, named Ray, nicest guy you could imagine, he can give you estimates, and all that from the dealership. Email me if you need his cell number, etc.

Sorry about the accident.

Cheers
