Just getting some scratches taken care of, also paint matching the front and rear grille/trim.

Invisible S/C are very difficult to fix.

Well the thing is, my car had two deep scratches practically down the whole passenger side.
I had to pay my deductible. The overall cost to my insurance co. was roughly $2,000

I'll take pictures for you, that way you can decide if ABRA Body is worth the recommedation of:
"Preferred Company"

Why so? I've heard they do very great work but the price tag shows that?

Or did they mess up on your mom's?

"Preferred Company"
means cheap, and they will try to fit the "insurance's" qouta of cheaper repairs

btw you are legalaly able to take it to ANY shop you want, they cannot tell you where to take it, only thing is that it might take a little longer to fix, due to the insurance having to approve it and such where the preferred shop can kinda approve it themselves

should've tried "Boulder Bump Shop", and asked for Jake
they do really good work, only thing though is that they can be kinda slow at doing it, but one call a day just to make sure it will be ready when said, should do the trick though

Matt- I'm well aware I can take my car and my money to any shop.
I've been told by a few co-workers that they do excellent work. And if it's a preferred shop of my insurance, which leads to less hassle and downtime for me. Why not then...?

Although; I will admit I was skeptical on "Preferred" shop at first, but with reassurance from my colleagues... the TL looks beautiful man. And they didn't charge me for the grille and rear trim because they were a day late. I'm one happy man.


Steven- Sorry dude, haven't seen her around. Is she from CO?

Gio- Which ones did you get?

just saying that you don't have to use the "insurance's" shop, buit if you fill comfortable with them, then go ahead to them

and as said that is one advantage to using a preferred shop is less hassle and such for you

I think a little drop like 1.5" would go perfect on your car

Anyone ever fall in love with your car all over again?
How/Why?


For me- watching the guy pull out of the body... beautiful.

I hear ya, it's definitely a money pit. And on top of that my MPG is not so good. And my insurance is ridiculous.

But I still love the vehicle.
