Default I need to get some body work done.

Should i take it to HBL or let someone my insurance company provides do it (less hassle and less time in the shop prob.) Any suggestions, other places in VA that does good work?

Default I don't believe any dealer personally does work. Usually they have a contract with another shop..

and they bring it to that shop to get done. I could be wrong with HBL, but this is at least how Audi of Alexandria does it.

Default I'd advise against HBL - in my familys experience

whenever a car went in there with a small problem, it came back with another issue. And amazingly, when we took it somewhere else, there never were other problems...
just our experience, but many people do not like or trust HBL

Default HBL = No Way.....

Their quality contrl is non-existent and I have had them try and thro w some shoddy work past me in the past. And not just questionable / coulda' been missed but REALLY shoddy work.

Default Two Points...

1... Don't take you Audi to a dealer shop.
2... Don't take you Audi to a insurance recommended shop if you care about how it comes out.
