Default Good Body shop, near Roseville area?

Hey everyone, I'm a newbie. I'm looking for a body shop not far from the ten and gratiot area that's not going to totally rape me. I just want my rear quarters repaired and a good paint job. I've got a couple estimates, and I'm not paying $3000 to just have my quarters hung. Any suggestions?

As an insurance adjuster familiar with the body shops in that area, you either get quality or you get cheap, not both.

Shops that do excellent work...

Stan Yees

Butler's Collision (13 Mile Between Gratiot and Utica)

Tri-Way Collision (Gratiot at 12 1/2)

Mario's Collision (Gratiot at 14 1/2)

Fleetwood Collision (Harper & Shady Lane, near 8 Mile)

Welcome to the shop, you can also try Auto Body Service Centers, although there isn't one right near 10 & Gratiot.

Wattsup, Best body shop in area is Kreative Body Werks. Metro Parkway & Groesbeck. Pete's been doing show car quality for 40 years. At $36.00 hour for labor & paint you can't beat the price. Their getting my 70 Mach 1 this Saturday to do a full massage & paint. Stop by their shop & look at their work, they do the straightest body work around.

Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at Kreative Body Werks. I don't remember seeing the shop, but I'll stop in next time I pass. I had no Idea Stan Yees did much more beyond auto glass, but I'll check them out too. Thanks again, much appreciated!
