Default Best bodyshop in the Allentown, PA area?

<center><img src="http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/b/n/bnl107/Accident.jpg"></center><p>Who does the best work? Cost (obviously, this was not my fault - not on my insurance) and time are not issues; I want this fixed perfectly. Local dealership (Knopf) is also an option, if they do good work. Also, am I limitied in my choices because it is a "special color" (Nogaro Blue)? TIA.

Default Is it just your door?

If it is, and want it fixed as factory, buy a new door/parts and have it painted with factory paint. No bondo, no duraglass, perfect factory unit.

my 2¢

Default D. Duncan in Allentown is excellent

D. Duncan Autobody (www.dduncanautobody.com) off of Hamilton Blvd. in Allentown recently did some paint work on my mother's Subaru and it turned out beautifully. I'd recommend giving them a call. I don't think matching the Nogaro color will be an issue, since the paint color mix is determined by a computer. As long as the color recipe is in their computer, as supplied by Audi, it should be a perfect match. As far as I know, Knopf doesn't have their own body shop and instead contracts out their body work, but I may be wrong.

True 2 Form (several locations in the Lehigh Valley) have also worked on several of my family's cars, and have always done quality work.

Default I'm not from PA, but your not limited b/c of your color. Shops use your VIN to make the paint......

Any body shop should be able to get Nogaro paint.
