caught a good deal out of the blues

I was leaving fry's when a dude pulled up and holla at me. He asked questions about my car and everything. Well i had a big dent on my door. I got it estimate and it was about $900 plus. Anyhow this guy was like I can fix your car for $275. I told him to follow me so I can ask him more questions. I went to this parking lot and he told me that he can do the car. I told him I dont have the money right now so I if he give me his number I can do it later. He insist on doing it right now . I consult it with my friend and we decide to try it out. we lower the price to $225. We went to his house so he can work on the car. he worked on it for like 2 hours along with his dad. He was only 19 when we started talking. His dad even got his hand dirty and joined in. THe dad have been working on cars for 20 years so the dad took over. The job was great. Its not painted yet but it will be tomorrow. So they fix my dent, a pretty big one, and painted my car for $225 when the job costed $900. Well He got a new car IS 300 wand was having problem paying the bills. He just moved to my area and needed some income until he starts his job. So I got lucky I guess. The job is nice

I have some friends that do body work from their garages and people always assume the job will be crappy because they don't have a big shop with a name, etc...but i would have one of them do my body work before bringing my car to any body shop in the area. Looks like you lucked out
