Need a body shop

We live on Capitol Hill. Got nailed hard while parked.

Where and who are the recommended repair shops?

Ashburn Collision in Sterling is one; they repaired mine. But since you're on Capitol Hill you might check out some of the shops in Alexandria.

Thanks. The distance isn't an issue - it will be going by flat bed - Passenger side rear wheel driven forward, drivers side front rim broken and who knows what else.

Body work shops

There are two that I would recommend without going out to Sterling. The number one shop I would recommend is Spectrum Auto body on Arlington Mill road in the Shirlington area of South Arlington. I've been a customer for many years (none of the fender benders were my fault). Mark Boudreaux has a degree in automotive engineering and will absolutely go to the mat to insure that you are treated correctly by the insurance company. Few insurance companies will go head to head with Mark.

The other company that is the default for European body work (Porsche, BMW, and others) is Wagonwerks on Jefferson Davis Highway just beyond Crystal City and BMW of Arlington. Truthfully I wasn't happy with the work they did on one of my BMW's. It was the only time I went to some one other than Spectrum.

If you want your car repaired to absolutely spec. Spectrum is the place to go.
