OK, an RSX lost control in front of me this morning and I bumped him in the side (cracked front lower OEM lip, scuffed/scratched front bumper), spun and got me on the front left fender (crushed in fender), small scrapes and dents on driver door and rear quarter.

So what should I do as far as choosing the right shop to repair????

 

first and foremost, ask around... other peoples experience is vital in finding the right shop. Ask to see some work they have completed and check for the finish quality, any overspray, color match, gap measurements, etc.. A good shop will do flawless work. Never use a shop if you have not seen their work..

Always make sure the shop removes items to prevent overspray such as door handles, mirrors, moldings.. Most shop save time by just taping everything off, this leaves a paint edge and is not professional..
