Rick's Auto Body has always been very good. They are off of Boston Road in Springfield. I forget the actual street they are on, but it is pretty close to the mall there.

I can only recommend who I use near me. Crowley Auto Body here in Bristol. Part of the Crowley Auto group who sell pretty much everything from Hummer to Nissan.
They have done work for me 3 times already. Once from my big accident, another when my neighbor hit my car with his motorcycle and then again gettin my bumper and oval painted for SZ. Prices are a little high but far superior work than I've seen come out of some smaller shops like my friends have used.

Well, if don't want to pay tax  , you can try Henry's in Manch. That's where Kim had her hood done. I was impressed with their work, and I'm picky!!
Funny thing is I want to have the GL re-painted, but no $$!! Maybe we'll do the Maccoo thing. Some people say they do better than their reputation has been.

Maaco did alright with my mother-in-law's car. It's a flat paint job, but, they did an ok job for what she paid.

already decided I am not going to Maaco, I am willing to pay to get the job done right, have a good surface prep done, and two stage paint ...

I have definitely noticed in our dealings with paint shops that the saying "you get what you pay for" applies 100%.

tony as I remember you saying that the whole car hasn't been painted right? just the rear and front not the roof, as I recall from SZ, so you are really happy with the final product?
