Depends how fast you need it and if drivable. I had a two month wait

Not covered by insurance? They usually have their “preferred” shops. Geico sent us to Jenkins Collision Center in Ocala. They did a great job repairing the rear bumper assembly on our Lincoln. Again as mentioned above, be prepared to wait. For us, it took awhile for the parts to come in.

I hate to ask, but from the wording of your post, can I assume that this work is for your wife's car?

You may want to try Phil's in Leesburg.

Another vote for Joe Hudson's.

I've had work done on two of my vehicle's at the company.

They did outstanding work.

Dom's did absolutely perfect work on my wife's Mini Cooper. Started work on date promised and completed the work before the date promised. Perfect color match.

I would recommend Dr. Fastfingers. Best plastic surgeon in the Villages. I would also recommend a tummy tuck and any additional work you deem necessary! :clap2:

The wife doesn't need any body work, but Thanks for asking....

His insurance will be covering but they say they won't provide or cover a rental because his insurance did have that coverage. That doesn't make any sense to me. I put rental coverage on my policy for me not the other person. It also doesn't make sense for my insurance to pay for it.

The vehicle is drivable, we'll just have to see about the time table for it to get fixed once we find a place. Thanks for the recommendations.

Call Dave Wallace (352) 504 – 9353. Dave is the owner of The Body Shop. He is located on the east side of 441 (next door to Ace Hardware) in Fruitland Park. I have used Dave several times over the past 10 years. He does great work, is very knowledgeable, is reasonably priced—and is a very nice fellow. Over the years, I have sent several people to Dave, and have always received positive feedback.

I'm sorry, but this has all the makings of a Rodney Dangerfield joke. No respect, no respect at all. Hope your wife is ok.

We were fortunate no one was injured, sorry about your hubby. Hoping no attorney is required.

That's absurd! His property damage liability coverage is paying for the repairs. Never heard of an "exclusion" for rental payments under such coverage.

Call the Florida Department of Insurance and file a complaint regarding that issue.

Wayne's Paint and Body - on Hwy 44 just past The Gun Shop. They are a division of Jenkin's Auto. They did a great job repairing scrapes on the hood (brother in law vs descending garage door).
