I would like to know if anyone knows of a good place to have some bodywork done on my truck. I travel to TJ often and drive by the places on 3rd ave all the time. I really want to stay away from the tourist traps and find a place that I can trust with my autos. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks Steve

"Economic" on 3rd Street...cross street is eitre Ocampo or Negrete. Don't rush them and they'll do a very good job.
You can also ngotiate the price.

I know a guy who does body work on the side and is really good. I had a 98 honda civic and crashed into back of a truck. It was totaled, but he fixed it for me for $2500. He also hooked me up with a custom paint job worth $3000 for $800. He located in torrace let me know if you need his info

Thanks Gordon but since this is for insurance, I think a body shop quote might be best. But good info regardless, thanks.

I depends on what your meaning is (insider joke)? But yeah I did.... by another truck. Damnit, I'm going to avoid driving near trucks from now on. Anyways, word of advice and this is only from my own personal experience but TJ driving in the early hours are good if you know the rules of the road (they are not exactly the same as the rules we have in the states) but at night, TJ driving is dangerous, I've seen several accidents already mostly during the night time. Of course that's being a little bias as I see accident happening all the time on my drive to TJ when I still used to live in the states.

I've heard Cadillac has gone downhill in quality & up in prices...Is the general consensis that Economico & Aragon are among the best shops?
