Body Shop in SoCal - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Last week I was involved in an accident and the car SHOULD be totaled (axle damage). Tomorrow is the appointment for the inspector to look at the total damage of the car and I was wondering if my car is repairable what are some really good reputable body repair shops here in socal? I only want the best of the best so if anyone can let me know some good names that would be much appreciated.

Also, I believe there is heavy axle/suspension damage and if my insurance is denying claiming my vehicle as totaled is there anyway I can deny or fight that? Thanks.

Fabricante auto body in Lake Forest or Prestige auto collision in Mission Viejo. Both have expierience in heavy camaro collision repair as well as awesome paint work.
Prestige did my '10 SEMA Camaro and Fabricante is doing my '12 SEMA Camaro convertible. Both are owned by the same family, ask for Darryl at Prestige or Eric at Fabricante, been in business over 30 years, direct with most major insurance company's.

What area are you in? I would look for a shop that is good at collision rather than just a good paint and body shop. You want a shop that has the equipment to check the frame and make sure she is perfect. There aren't a lot of places that take the time to laser check the frame. That would be my first priority.

If you can show frame damage, it is easier to get her scrapped.

Hope everyone involved was ok.

Tom Hagen · 10-07-2011, 09:03 PM

Totaled that quick? Wow

Hope you're ok. Obviously since you are posting on here.

Well, if it's written as totaled...we still have the one you ordered and canceled from us. Just call Brent.
