So funny story... (I'm looking for a body shop)
So someone rearended me today at lunch. Pretty minor, it was <5mph. Only the plastic bumper cover seems damaged (dents/scratches). The panel still lines up pefrectly at all body seams.
So for the funny or at least ironic part:
I was dropping my boss' boss off at the body shop to pick up his car. They just fixed his front bumper. He's the "jerk" who hit me :-P
So... Seeing as how I know the guy, see him every day, know where he lives, and he offered to cut me a check for 2k if give him the change, we didn't call the cops.
I live in Gwinnett, but I'm looking for recommendations for a good body shop pretty much anywhere in the metro area.
Thanks!

If you are willing to drive to Marietta
Call and ask for Tom: 770 318 2066
Tell him you were referred by Eric King.
My fiance has been hit twice in a year and hes done a great job fixing her bumper both times. He did stellar work on my old A4 a few years ago.

Re: Nalley in doraville repainted my bumper for chips and did a great job ...
Yeah, I actually drive all the way out to them for service because Jim Ellis SUCKS.
I called Betty and she said they don't do body work, but they have "a guy" who does their touch ups, and she'll make sure he'll be there to give me an estimate.
I'm not sure if they can fix it, or if they'll have to replace the whole plastic bumper cover.

Be ready to give them all of that check....
I had a dime sized dent in my door panel I wanted removed that was above the door handle...They quoted me $1600. But then again, that was at the Buckhead location. Guess they think everyone that lives here has the money.

yeah, turns out that plastic bumper cover is $600 unpainted. Metalic Paint and labor will add up...
But seeing as how I'm saving my boss $$$ by not using his insurance, he'll pay for whatever I end up doing.
2k was his rough estimate.
