fau;kner scion has a body shop, but i wouldnt want to deal with them.

i know there is going to be alot of labor and prep time involved with this repair. For the door jam repair, they'd either have to remove the door, or mask everything off, and bag the car.

Jim, I know for a fact that Thompson does excellent work if you're willing to bring it up to Doylestown.

They did a grade-A job on my mom's car when it was keyed all down the passenger side, down to the metal.

did her insurance claims adjuster come and look at the car yet? you are entitled to brand new parts and taking it where ever you want. if its more then there estimate then the body shop and the insurance company battle it out.

edit..you said your dad was in the insurance business so im sure yo know all this. never mind.

another thought that just crossed my mind. it looks like the hit was close to the rear axel did it hit the wheel at all? might want to get under there and make sure the rear suspension and torsion beam isnt tweaked or anything. or i should say...make sure the claims adjuster gets under that and looks at it.
