Default What to look for in a body shop

I am getting a new front bumper very soon for my Z as mine is cracked. How the hell do I figure out what body shop to use? What questions do I ask? Is there some certification to look for or some organization of quality shops? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Rich

Seems word of mouth works the best in my opinion,have you seen any of their work,do they deal with after market fitment.. things like that . What kind of cars do they drive,look at their own rides ,I mean if they have a heap the odds of them working on yourse ,blah ya know .

In fact, your regional forums might be one of the best places to ask. Go to a local meet and see their cars in person and ask them where they got their stuff done at.

+1 on word of mouth...on top of what most mentioned, one big thing i look at too is the cleanliness of the shop itself..it tells a lot about the shop itself
