Default Body work in Boston

Anyone know a good body repair shop around the Boston, MA area? Nothing major just a couple of little things.

I went to this place called - MICHAEL J HYNES AUTO REPAIR INC
in Allston and they messed up my my car and put really crappy third party parts on and didn't replace some of the retaining clips, now I have to replace things myself because according to them it was my fault the parts they used sucks and stuff fell off because I must have hit something and all kinds of excuses I don't have time for. But of course they can fix it for a discounted price. Yeah right, like I'm going to give you more money. :madfawk:

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

You should look just outside of boston. like Waltham, watertown, newton, etc. the farther outside the city, the more likely you will get some honesty out of those autobody ass-holes. i have no specific places to mention, there are far too many to single just one or two. Im down next to Foxboro, and i definetly not satisfied with the job i got done. The bastards got paint on my driver's seat, and didnt even mention it! its hard to find an honest deal for bodywork. Good luck!

if you want to drive up to plaistow, NH my friend may do it. it's just over the border from haverhill, ma. unlike other body shops who only want to do insurance work, he'll do whatever you want and not charge you alot either. my car will be their next week while i'm on vacation doing some custom stuff.

I haven't been there for 10 years, but Dick's Auto Body in Somerville does amazing work. They specialize in Mercedes, BMW, Porsche and Ferrarri, but treated me and my Civic with the same care as the others.

Henry's Autobody and Autofair's Repair Shop does amazing work. Autofair fixed my Accord when I was in an accident...can't even tell.

I don't know if I can go out that far. I have to drive to work everyday and
wanted something close enough to either take public transportation.
Do these guys have loaners.

Manchester and Plaistow?

I'll look around Metro west and further. Need to get this done right this time.

Yeah, body guys can do whatever they want and all you can do is complain afterwards because they have already done the work. It's touch to find someone good.
