Rear ended! Need suggestions for collission repair

Recommended Posts

Just got rear ended on my way home from work. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shop to do bumper repair in the Sterling area?

D&V Autobody in Sterling - (703)661-8545. Talk to Kevin, and tell him that you're from DC Metro MINIs (you may have to explain that we're the local MINI Cooper club) and that Haemish sent you.

 

(They are working on my MINI, and they come highly recommended from many sources, that's why I picked them. I don't get any kickbacks or anything, but I am ultimately hoping to convince them to become a club vendor!)

 

Anything to save a MINI that can't be replaced or replicated! (1st Gens like ours can't any more)

Yup...D&V Autobody. You can tell Kevin that Darryl from Odds and Ends Detailing sent you as well. We do business together on a pretty regular basis.
...and there's one of my independent sources that I got the recommendation from. :)

 

The others? Another body shop (yes, a competitor!) and parts technicians at a car dealership. All people that work in the car business, all independent folks who likely don't know each other and who don't have anything to gain directly from getting D&V more business. :biggrin:

Awesome, I will definitely check out D&V. No one was hurt and the damage isn't too bad - just the rear bumper.

I third D&V :top: They work with major insurances and work with them directly, saving a magnitude of heart/headache. I've had Clubby and my previous Jetta in there for non-insurance claims and my parents have had two cars in there as well, one being an insurance claim. Family-run, nice folks, and on-par with pricing
