2nd or 3rd tier auto body shops?

[Anonymous]

Looking for a inexpensive independent autobody shop to take a 2009 prius in for some work. I'm avoiding big popular places like Zamora's in Rockville or Caliber Collision in Bethesda. They're great but too expensive for this old car.

Drive down Westmore Road in Rockville. Plenty of places along there. I like Auto Body Clinic (7402 Westmore) personally.

Tell the places you're not filing an insurance claim, and can pay cash. You'll get a better price.

Anyone else have a recommendation?

I have used Hanagans in Silver Spring for insured work on my Audi and uninsured work on my 13 year old minivan. As PP says, if you tell them you’re paying for it yourself and you don’t need perfection, they will give you a different estimate.
