Need body/repair shop in DFW

[evigil]

Hey everyone, so my wife had a small fender bender this morning with the FRS. The damage to the front bumper isn't horrible but it's there. Anyhow depending on cost we might go through our insurance. Our deductible is $500 so I need to see if it's worth using it.

Have any of you in the DFW area had any good experience with body/repair shops? I've used Toyota of Irving in the past and had no problems with them.

Thanks for your input.

If that bumper is repairable, which it looks to be, it would probably be best not to claim it. My bumper had to be replaced, so I filed a claim. I took mine to a place called Premiere Autosports in Richardson. The paint job came out really nice like oem.

Trade Secret Auto in Plano. It's right behind a Merc dealer (close to Subaru of Plano) and all the dealers right there use them. Buddy of mine who works at the Merc dealer told me about them.

I recently had to use them since I was rear-ended late last year. They did a great job and even did a good job color matching WRB.

Thanks for the suggestions, we dropped off the car at Clark Brothers in Arlington this morning. From what I hear they are pretty good. Geico estimator only saw about $650 worth of damages but didn't include a new clear bra.

I've taken mine twice to Caliber Collision in Plano. Great job both times.

Picked up the car this morning and looks great. The body shop ended up just replacing the entire front bumper instead of trying to repair it and got an oem grill after insurance tried to get them to put a crappy aftermarket grill.

Aside from that, the front safety bar, lower radiator support and clear bra was replaced. New total was somewhere around $1400.

If you need any work done I highly suggest Clark Brothers, I saw some of the past builds on chevy trucks and they know what they are doing.
