What are you trying to have done? I've only heard of Auto Collisions Center out of those 3. I've never taken my car there though or know of anyone who has. My brother always takes his Celica to Image body center in Colma. I also know of this former car model who swears by Image. She had her Type R fixed up (riced out) over there...

check with the better business bureau and often times AAA will rate body shops..this is a good way to do preliminary research...:)

I'm not sure but I think she had the car repainted. Last I talked to her was at a party and she said she was selling the car for $15k. She claims that her car can do 13's on the strip...

I have also heard very good things about Auto Image, if i still ived in Daly City i'd probably go there for stuff. Nice cars outside from what i recall (sadly..hondas)

If you venture into the city, look up Sunny Autobody on Potrero (sorry, don't have addy). They to good work, i went to high school with the owner. Pretty much every car in school was done by him, haha.

my insurance company suggested those 3 shops to go fix my car, but im feeling that i should go to a shop that i am familiar with..

He works with all insurence providers and has the hook up with the claim adjusters. Plus he is working on my 240 and a couple of other's so you know he got expierence on them. that reminds me i got to there to take a look on how my work is coming along.

How bad is your car?

it's not that bad. some dumb ass backed up into me with a ford explorer so he took out my passenger side headlight assembly and dented my hood and fender and scratched up my bumper. Total came out to be $2000-$2500.

i want to go to a family friend's shop in socal, but im not sure if insurance will let me do that..since i am in norcal

Damn socal? how bad is the damage? any insurence will let you go to any body shop you want. you might have to wait a little longer for them to send an adjuster. and also if u can get ur car to socal with no problems then the damage is not that serious to do all that. Unless they are gonna hook u up with hella free shit it is pointless.

Damn that sucks! i am thinking that car is not drivable. so what ever money you would save at ur friends shop in SOCAL ur gonna loose it in shipping or towing the car all the way down there. my boy's shop that i mentioned earlier deals with accidents that bad all the time. shit i remember bring one of my cars that looked worse than that $8000 worth of damage. Dude left it like i just drove it off the lot. and hooked it up with hella extra shit.

This happenend back in 96-97 with a brand new civic EX coupe with less than 5000 miles on it so my shit was valued like new plus the accident was caused by a drunk driver. they were close to totaling my car. i think i missed it by a couple hundred.
