Body Shop Recommendations
Well, to make a long story short....I crashed my STi yesterday. Could anyone recommend a body shop to take my STi to? I heard the one near the airport is good (Forgot there name). I'm getting an estimate tomorrow @ SH Fender on queen street.

Thank you
--Dave--

I would recommend them as well. I used to know a guy that used to work there in 02, 03. I think my parents had some work done there as well.

I spoke to Brandon....I'm going to have his shop work on my STi. The next available time is some time next month. So till then, I guess the STi is being parked and I'm buying a bus pass.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. While we're not perfect, I must admit that we do try our best to make our customers happy. kawshon1, I'm curious....who did you know that worked at our place? That's actually right around the time I started working at the shop, too.

-Dave, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
