Default Wife's Jetta got whacked. What's the name of that body shop in...Malden, Medford?

The car was in a Waltham parking garage between 9am and noon today. Someone skidded (marks were present) into the car parked next to our Jetta, which was then pushed into our right rear quarter panel...basically the worst spot to get hit in. The wheel arch was caved in, and both the right rear door and bumper cover were damaged/marked.

What's the name of that body shop in Malden or Medford that all you guys are always talking about? I want to go get an estimate from that place and compare it to the estimate we're going to get from our adjuster.

Default ugh that sux

It's Dick's in Somerville. Do yourself a favor, let Dicks fight with your adjustor. The best thing is to have the adjustor meet you at Dicks. That will avoid a bunch of run-around, and also lets the insurance folks you mean business (they know that Dick's doesn't take short cuts).<ul><li><a href="http://www.dicksautobody.com/">http://www.dicksautobody.com/</a</li></ul>

Default :( I recommend Billy at Anchor Auto Body. Just bring the car there and let the adjustor go there.

Billy will get any supplemental from the insurance company. He knows most of the insurance guys that write up the estimates and will get everything needed to fix the car.

Default We're in Melrose. Which of the below 3 is closest?

The wife doesn't really care about ultimate quality for this fix, nor do I. We just want to get it done. She's neglected the car from the moment it left the dealer's lot back in 2003. I waxed it once, back in 2004. All wheels have hit curbs at speed, the front bumper has a hole in it, and the inside is a mess due to bi-yearly cleaning. This is no cream puff.

I always thought Dick's in Sommerville was the biggie that everyone recommended.

Default It's usually a tie between Billy @ Anchor and Dick's @ Sommerville

and a good amount for Mike's @ Malden.

Default big 2nd on Mike. Best body shop around IMO. PCNA sponsor, and just a really cool guy.

Plus great quality work without all the "wait 2 months" BS of Dick's.
