    My car got hit and the rear left door and quarter panel are dented pretty good. Where is the best place to take it? I need it to be cost effective and good quality. I am a member.

    You can try fairway collision in shoreview. They do very good work but its a tad bit pricey

    I know searching on this forum is extremely hard, since it will return ALL results with your searched words, even if you search just post topics but I managed to find this anyway

    Hope it helps.

    This comes up at least once a month, honestly.

    The general consensus here is that Raymond is the place to take it. Otherwise, do a search. It will take a bit of time to find what you want, and the result will be the same - you will still have to call them for an estimate on repair.

    Hamline Autobody did a great job on mine. Fender and bumper were messed up pretty bad, along with the linkage and some suspension parts after I slammed it into a curb. Not sure how they compare for price, though, since the insurance company covered it.

    Quite possibly, but the problem IS the searching mechanism that this particular board uses. You have to know how to tell it to not search certain words, or ignore things, and it's a royal pain the arse for anyone used to a more intuitive engine (like google - even though google sucks now too)

    It can be very frustrating to use the search here, and equally as frustrating to see the same thing come up all the time. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix the search engine.

    And it only takes a couple of seconds to respond. It can take far longer to search.

    This is for the OP:

    I got a quote from lamettry's. How do they fall on the price and quality scales?
