Default Need local collision repair advice for bodywork

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the S2K experience. Just bought my '07 nfr 11 days ago and I was hit by another vehicle last night (don't even get me started, it wasn't my fault and she's uninsured...ugh! ) I need some body work and was looking for advice. It's going to be an insurance repair and they've recommended David McDavid Honda collision repair in Irving. Does anyone have any experience with them? McDavid is the closest Honda dealership to me, but the car is drivable and I'm willing to take it somewhere else depending on other's experiences with them.

Thoughts or suggestions?

First off sorry about the damage to your S. I have no experience with any repair shops in the Metroplex, but I have heard that McDavid Acura in Plano does good work. As a result they stay very busy, so be prepared for a lengthy wait to get in for work. Others may have a better recommendation, heres hoping the repairs go very well !

GTI (German Technology) in Euless is good. Park Place bodyworks in Dallas is good too and maybe a bit closer for you.

I used Caliber on 75 near Park/Parker. Can't necessarily recommend them, but they did a good enough job in a decent amount of time.

Personally, I did not have a good experience with GTI, which was disappointing as I even told them I had chosen them based off recommendations.

They did a great job on my Lotus and did it in a pretty fast timeframe. They typically work on higher end European sports cars but I haven't heard any complaints previously.

Thanks everyone. Actually, on the drive home from work this morning (it happened on the way in last night) I noticed the tail end was goosey as heck and I'm not sure I feel comfortable with it on the freeway. She hit my rear wheel pretty hard, and while it's not pulling or anything, any minor bump I hit seemed to make the rear end slosh around. Since there are no bad experiences with McDavid Honda, I'm going to go ahead and take it to them since I won't have to get it on the freeway to take it there.

Thanks again!
