    I can narrow it down a bit - STAY AWAY FROM SUPERIOR COLLISION.

    That's my 2 cents.

    I have heard some good stuff about hamline auto body.

    Might try TJ auto services. I will talk to them and see if they have time, they are super busy.

    Brad hubert Hamline autobody is the manager at that place....he is a very busy man, you can get the MNsubaru discount but his deadline sink a little. They did work on it on my wifes rear bumber and it took them a long azz time.....Brad he is a cool guy but i won't go back again. BTW his employee from the front desk are dipshizzle.

    Old thread bump, but I sure hope Hamline takes care of my baby. :( I took it there based on the number of recommendations I read on this board.

    Dropped it off yesterday, in the middle of a snowfall, what a bummer.

    The connected Enterprise rental car place gave me a Dodge Charger, it was fun leaving there in a completely unfamiliar RWD car while the snow came down. Not as bad as I'd expected, but the stability control sure does rear it's ugly head alot (even with the "ESP" switched off).

    Well I'd like to thank Brad @ Hamline for giving my car another shot. I went to pick it up today, and when we took a look, the color they laid just didn't work out right on the RR quarterpanel. He thought that, potentially, some stray metallic flake got into the finish.

    He offered quickly to take it back in and make it right, even though I was tentative about being too picky. I appreciate this greatly, and look forward to it coming out "Done the way it should be".

    I got to pick up my Subie today, and I am more than pleased with the outcome. Everything looked great, much better than last time.

    Kudos to Hamline Auto Body for getting the job done right and accommodating a picky customer.
