Default Where do You guys take your car after an accident?**

I am sure you have seen my post already about freeway accident.
I was wondering where I should take my car to get it fixed. triple A referred me to one body shop around my house but I was wondering if there are any other reputable and who knows a lot about Z in socal. any inputs?

thanks in advance

M1 Autobody at El Monte.. they painted my driver side after I got my last car key'd by some bish at work

edit: ahh..you said "knows a lot about Z"... they're into the import scene so I'm sure someone can chime in"

Sorry about your accident! I have done a lot of work with Marcos Auto Body and they are with AAA also. They are pretty good and pretty mainstream in southern cali. But if you are in the SGV area, I actually have a personal friend that owns a really good shop. He has taken care of me before and by far he is the best I've ever came across. He will not take short-cuts and the inside (behind the door or bumper in that case!) will look just like the outside, brand spankin new. Anyways if you want you can hit him up.

Formula 1 Paint and Body
401 Agostino Rd
San Gabriel, CA 91776

Ask for Scott and tell him Patrick sent you. He should take care of you then. Let me know how everything turns out!

I hear you man. Same thing happened when I got into an accident with my seller car (bought a car in the auction around July and was pending sale when someone on the freeway rear-ended me). I don't know any shop around Irvine. Sorry bud. But I do hope everything turns out okay!

aha,.,, I see.. I just dropped my car off at their place. Their place is not too big or the interior isn't the best but miguel seems like a great guy. very easy communication.
thanks man.. if it wasn't you I would have hard time finding a good body shop.. I will let you know after he is done with my car
