I know we had this discussion before this forum via email, but I think I trashed all my info. I need to have a few bumps fixed on the bimmer. Any recommendations out there? I'd like to hear the good, the bad and the ugly. I've heard from 2 different sources now that Haddocks in Fuquay-Varina does very good work.

Whatcha' think?

Haddock operations seem to be very efficient, as seen from a delivery/business viewpoint. Incidently, they have facilities in Cary and south of Wake Forest.

Come on....

All of you drive cars and have had a few bumps now and then and had them repaired. No one has any comment on any of the body shops in the triangle area :car:?

I used Tarheel Body Shop up US1 on the way to Wake Forest. Near the Leath dealership. This was about 3-4yrs ago. They fixed up my first Vette after some dip$h1t creamed the back quarter and bumper section.

They're slow and they aren't cheap. But when they were done you couldn't tell that it had been hit or repaired. They matched the new paint to the old paint almost perfectly so you couldn't look at the paint to see where they worked. My insurance company recommended them and guaranteed their work.

If I keep this Vette and have it repainted they are the guys I would go see. Without a doubt.

I've (luckily) only needed one body shop in the 5+ years we've been here, but based on my experiences I would NOT recommend Paragon in N. Raleigh. Even on a Saturn the work was far from great, and that was after the 2nd attempt they had to get it right.

This is now the Haddock operation in the Wake Forest area.
