Help with returned stolen car DC area

My sister in law has an 06 TSX. It was stolen from their house in DC and the police found it - but it had smashed windows, big hood dent and the seats were trashed.

Can anyone recommend a good place to have the work done? Any thing to watch out for / any way to get something out of this bad deal?

Thanks in advance

What do you mean by "get out of this bad deal"? Where's your insurance company? I'm sure your deductible is less than the cost to repair everything.

Check with several body shops, and get quotes.

By far check with the dealerships, and don't always go with the place the insurance company "recommends".

Sorry to hear about the bad luck. If you don't mind my asking, how did it get stolen?

This is my first time hearing a TSX got stolen... Sorry about your (sister-in-law's) problem.
You should check around for the best shops (citysearch maybe?) and just go from there since your insurance company will be paying the repairs and stuff...
Mind telling us how it got stolen?

Stolen from behind their apartment in an off street parking pad at 14th and Swann. Really not sure how they stole it – they didn’t hear the alarm go off.

Try D&V autobody for the paint/body repairs. As far as the interior I would suggest you request D&V to send the car to Pohanka Acura to get the seats/interior fixed...
