| Best body shop?
Hey guys
I got rear ended on the #1 near Surrey 3 weeks ago, and my insurance said theres $9000 worth of damage and they want to repair it. The car is a 2003 Toyota Celica.
Where is the best place to repair it in the lower mainland area? I'm out of province (from Sask as a student) so I thought I'd ask the locals. My uncle says Craftsman Collision is probably one of the better ones, but yeah.
Thanks in advance

An '03 celica with 9k in damage?
Screw that, I'd want a writeoff.
Do you know what the resale value on a '03 Celica with a $9000 ICBC claim is? Like 37 cents.
That sucks dude.
I would call a couple of Toyota dealerships and see who they recommend. If any of the Toy dealers in town have an attached/in house body shop I would use them.

I'll see what my dad and I think, because the resale value will be non-existant. My insurance is SGI (saskatchewan) so yeah :/
Thanks for the advice  | |

A 95 Ford Windstar hit me, an old guy was driving. Go figure.

Anyways, I would want a write off for your car, not worth fixing.

anyways
yeah I actually couldn't believe it when they told me the damages and that they would repair it.

AK autoworks is good. I took my car for a paint job after someone keyed the side. Do not take it to Richmond Automind.

Most people have pretty low standards when it comes to body shop repairs, so you will see lots of different shops being recommended and contradicting stories.
