Best place to have body work done???

[eoverly]

I have not had good luck with Springfield Auto Body. I have gone there three times in the last two years and there has always been an issue with the work. The last time they had to repaint the hood twice- it came out splotchy the first time.

I then tried Wagon Work (3406 Jeff Davis Hwy). The first time things came out well- it was just a scratch on the bumper. The second time they actually damaged my car- they scratched a wheel, which they repaired, and I had to make several trips back before they got the headlight fixed right.

I regret to say I'm not happy with either place.

I called Springfield Auto Body last week on Thursday or Friday & left a message for them to call me back. A week later & they still haven't called me. I went over to Rosslyn Auto Body near Lake Barcroft in Virginia yesterday & got a estimate of $1631.00 on the spot for my 1998 540i. We have done business with them before & have been pleased with the work. They started in 1937 in Rosslyn & are family-owned & operated. I was thinking about getting a second estimate from Wagonwork Collison to see how they stand in price comparison. However after reading the previous negative reply, I am now wondering if it is even worth it since they are much further from my Annandale residence. I know what kind of work Rosslyn does, but am getting mixed vibes on Wagonwork from the different posted replies.

You should try Springfield Auto Body again, but this time speak to Jim Scott and tell him Barry referred you.
Good Luck,

I took my car to Springfield Autobody to have some deep scratches fixed. They replaced the panel and the paint seems to match well. When I picked up the car, I noticed some slight imperfections. They wetsanded them out and it looks pretty good now.

However, I also found a new scratch on the car that I'm pretty sure was not on the car before. It is on the hood, right in my field of view, so I probably would have seen it before I dropped the car off and it was deep enough to catch a fingernail. They wetsanded that too and it looks much better, but you can still see it.

Call Jim Scott there. He's the owner and tell him I referred you to him.
He'll take care of any problems you have.
