Title: better news for crashed ghia
Post by: roqueweiler on July 27, 2012, 06:40:28 PM
ICBC says they "may" want to fix my car!!  Yay!

Best body shops near coquitlam?

I have heard Tom's on north road and DJ in New West

What about a kirmac or Boyd's?

Your best bet is to take the car to a smaller shop. The larger shops like Kirmac, Boyd, Craftsmen have a higher labour rate paid by ICBC which means your car will be written off much faster.

Smaller shops ( as weird as it sounds ) get paid less money per hour so they can spend more time on your car. Also a smaller shop will work with you where as a franchise shop wont even want to touch your car ( even if they tell you different ) because they make their money fixing honda civics and toyota corollas all day long which is easy money.

You need to find a shop that will take their time and do a good job on your car.
