    ok so I have hail damage and I have a pretty fat check from the insurance company and I need advice on a good shop.

    I need my hood and trunk repaired, there are about 15-20 small hail dents total. I also want to get a new rear bumper because someone hit me at the mall and scratched the corner.

    Any advice on a really good body shop that will also let me have a loaner car for a day or two while it is getting fixed. I would like to get my car done this week if possible!!!!!

    I was always impressed with Raymond Auto Body in the Como Park/Lexington area of St. Paul. But that is based on experiences 10 yrs ago when we lived in the Cities. Great work tho on some pretty heavy duty hail damage.

    Its pretty doubtful that you will get your car into a shop this week. Everyone is going to be jammed with hail damaged vehicles.

    My pappy's shop does the best work this side of the moon. His shop is 'Country Side Collision' in Zimmerman. It's a ways, but when you get your car back, you'll say it was worth it. 763.856.3630
