Default Need a Body Shop

Hey everyone. Been a lurker for about two years. Now I need your help.
Hit a deer this morning on 50 east around Fair Oaks Mall at around 7.00 am. Or should I say the deer ran into me. Broke the windshield, passenger side front fender, passenger door, rearview mirror gone, and lower rocker damaged. All cosmetic but pretty bad.

I would like to have Honda do the work. Any opinions on the best Honda dealer with a body shop? Or does anyone have a recommendation on a GOOD body shop?

Also watch for deer, they are everywhere, even in urban settings.

Thanks for reading. I will be grateful for any thoughts you might have.

Most Honda Dealerships don't have their own body shops ... or if they do, its just an agreement with another body shop and then you get charged an additional fee that the Honda dealership collects.

No real advantage to going to a dealership imho. Just go directly to the body shop.

Vision Auto Graphics in Woodbridge, VA is the one thats been recommended to me numerous times because of the quality work they do. It isn't the closest to you, and I'm sure it won't be the cheapest either but I'd rather have good work than cheap questionable workmanship.

Address and phone number here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geoc...F8&z=13&iwloc=A

Good luck!

Pohanka auto body in chantilly is amazing. Did my Inifiniti and my friends toyota. Top notch work, amazing customer service, etc.

Deer in Fairfax have been nuts the last 2-3 weeks.....I've seen them all around 50 and 29 lately just jumping out of the woods and in to traffic.

At least you're ok.

They repair only High Dollar Foreign Auto's
I haven't seen anyone match their quality. it's not uncommon to see Lambo, Ferrari's and other exotics there.

What area are you looking in? I feel like I see on of these threads asking for body shop recommendations up at least once a week. There are lots of recommendations if you search the mid-a forum.

I personally had good luck with Auto Dent care in Rockville.
