Default Body Shop Recommendations

The wife got sideswiped by a trailer this weekend and will be needing some body work. Any recommendations?

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!
