Have you tried looking? Sitting at home wait for a shop to come to you isn't going to get any work done.

I'm not in your area, but if you want to bring it up to Northern Michigan, I can recommend a couple of good ones. You might like it up here. Tons of snow, and we'll be getting hit with freezing rain today. Should put your jeep through a good workout. LOL

Hope you find a shop you like down there.

Should take only a few hours to hit those all up for a good price.

Might just be me, but I got the impression the OP was just asking for some body shops that other forum members could recommend... I don't know about his area, but I know in mine, all body shops are not created equal. There are only two that I trust implicitly, and several that I avoid due to my own experience or from bad experiences of other folks that I know who have had poor quality results.

Google my area and you'll get a zillion hits on google too... doesn't hurt to come and ask others for which one they recommend though.

Perhaps he could have rephrased the question differently.

I will give you this though... this particular forum certainly ranks at the top of "best sarcastic responses". Always good for a laugh after a hard day.

He's on the WORLD wide web, not the Dallas TX wide web. Posting this up in OEM tech, how is anyone supposed to give him a straight answer? The regional section of the forum might yield better results. The two things in your post that stand out to me, are "I don't know your area" and "not all body shops are created equal". This is why you RESEARCH, and shop around, get estimates, ask local people, and so on...not that hard

Anytime someone posts in a general area, they're gonna get teased and stuff. Its true, post in regional chat and you'll get better answers.

Why would a body shop anywhere not be willing to work on your ride?
