I had an incident recently with a piece of plywood on 95 in Baltimore. Hood and bumper got all dinged and scratched up. I was lucky that I hit it at the angle I did or it would have been a lot worse. The damage isn't too bad but I'd like to get it fixed somewhere where it should get done right the first time.

I've had bad experiences in the past with body shops recommended by my insurance company. Gieco has an "xpress repair" program where they have adjusters on site at certain shops. I'd be able to take the car there, have it inspected/work estimated and then it would go in the same day to get repaired. Sure that sounds convenient, but as I said, I'm weary of places like this that are recommended by insurance.

So, anyone got any recommendations? I'm willing to go anywhere between Baltimore and Annapolis, or their surrounding areas to get good work done. I searched the forum but only came up with posts from a few years ago. Any info is greatly appreciated

 

What about Mini of Annapolis?
They have a body shop.
One of my co-workers was rear ended in his Camden and you can't tell that the car was in a accident after they fixed it.

 

Ahh forgot all about them (even though I bought my car there ). I'll look into it a bit more. The old threads I've found have talked badly about their work. But of course those posts are 2-3+ years old so I take them with a grain of salt.

One of the Geico locations is Russel Collision Center up in Baltimore. They're BMW certified so I'm tempted to just go there. Saw some positive posts on other forums about them. Geico also warranties all the work done at their approved locations for as long as I own the car. Anyone have any experience with that place?
