Roberts Audo Body is reasonable and from what I hear they do a really good job. Mark (SP71Supra) gave me a really good quote for fixing some dings on one of my doors, just haven’t decided if I want to do it yet or not. ---

Well, you can’t go too cheap. Like I said, your quote for my car was really good considering how thorough of a job your were going to do. But then I found more damage on my rear door and I figured I would try and fix it myself and see how it looks. I was just worried about paying to have you do it professionally and then end up having some a-hole ding my car again. ---
