Right now I highly recommend Special Interest Auto Body in Everett. They did a great job, were courteous, honest and helped me save money by buying some of the parts myself instead of through them. 
My best auto body experience.
<--- Has had bad body work done in the past and believes there's not many things more frustrating than overspray, excessive orange peel and sandmarks.

Right now that sucks. It just had to blow into the car. 
But honestly I am glad it hit MY car than the car next to mine! I would have never forgiven myself if it hit someone else's show car .

Right now . I've had work done with two other autobody shops. The first one told me it would be 7 days to fix my Chevy. After 7 days it wasn't done but they never bothered to call me. I finally stopped in and they said "oh, the tech working on your car was sick." I said "were you planning on tell me?" I can't remember what they said. I understand shit happens, but it's just common courtesy to let your customer know if there is going to be a delay. When I did get the car back they had overspray on the fender liner and you could see marks from the sandpaper.
The second shop did work on the S2000 after some expert driver rubbed my front bumper in Seattle. They were fast, but they didn't do a very good job on the paint, it had severe orange peel in the hard to reach spots, especially the areas surrounding the faux vents.

Right now between the Catherham and the four cars I just ordered (Dodge Viper GTS Race Car, Lancia 037 Rally Car, Peugeot 206 WRC, Ayrton Senna Williams F1 car) I've spent $200 on diecast today. 
Of Gold will be in the body shop on 8/29. Can't wait to get it all fixed up.
