Default looks like I'm going to need a bodyshop :(

As I told roger earlier, my bumper was scuffed earlier today at school by a girl trying to cram her honda civic into a spot that was way too small. Luckily I happened to walk past my car mid day when I accompanied some friends to jamba juice and saw the damage. I left a note and received a call back. The girl accepted responsibility and is going to pay for it. I don't think it will be very expensive to repair (just some scuffs and scratches on the corner of the rear bumper) but I want it done right. My paint is pretty hard to match. I also want to get my center console repainted to match the exterior of my car at the same time. Does european body works do work on japanese cars?

Default from what I recall

EBW "specializes" in Land Rover and Jaguar. I know that Molly started giving them Audi business, but if it's just minor repair/paint, I don't see why they couldn't do it.....right.

Good guys to work with, and worth the trip to Fairfax.

Default the reason I asked was that I remember someone posting that a local shop was snobby

and would not touch japanese cars because they are beneath them... or something like that. I just couldn't remember if it was european body works.

Where do you find a parking spot too small for a civic?

Default on GW's campus

the person behind her had parked too far up in the spot leaving a very tight space. She tried to squeeze in. When I walked past, there was 2 inches in front of her between my car and hers, and about 3 inches behind her.
