Default Looking for body shop in Atlanta, GA

Hey guys, I have a quick question.

Someome backed into the front of the car and did a good amount of damage. I need to take it somewhere to get an estimate of the damage. Would you recommend a dealer or are there other good body shops that you could recommend?

Also, how do the logistics work if say I wanted to put on a CF hood or something instead of replacing with an OEM? I'm also thinking of repainting my entire car (it really needs it) and paying the difference. Will shops generally allow me to do this?

Thanks for any help.

McDonald's Collision in Forest Park.

I'm so **** about my ITR, but I'm getting them to do my JDM Front End conversion.

If you need parts, give me a call.

McDonald's Collision is our premier body shop.

Damn, Len gave me mad discount and a FREE oil filter . Now, if he gave me Trinity.....hehe. By the way, I tested my temperature switch and it didn't mess up. So look like I'll need a water pump. How much will it cost man?

You go to Adam's Collision (Adam's Autosport). He is a good friend of mine and he does good work. Alot of people hate on him but I have sent him many happy customers.

I went to Adam's and he wanted to charge me $2,000. Um...I'm not saying that he does a poor job, but some of the cars that come out of there are very nasty. Then again some of the cars are really really good. I didn't want to take the chance and took it to the pros at McDonald's. They even gave me a discount. Plus with them, I can be rest assured that if anything were to happen to the paint or quality of the install, I could bring it back to them and they'll fix it at their own expense. Mike and Steve are truly great guys at McDonald's.

Adam has done a fair amount of JDM fronts like the yellow GSR. Most of the kinda poor work he has done has been rice **** like head light and taillight conversions. He tells people he doesn't like to do it because it is hard to perfect. If you don't go to Adam go to D&D kustoms. Dennis does really good work, he got apexitr's car looking hella good.
