Body Shop in/around Boston

[BWT]

I recently shipped my S4 using Dependable Auto Shippers and wouldn't you know it, they damaged it. It's nothing terrible, but I'm probably going to need a new hood (due to small dents) and a repainted fender (due to scuffing).

My question is, does anyone have experience with any of the Audi dealerships around Boston doing body work on their vehicle? If so, how did it turn out? Any body shop recommendations would be appreciated. Price is no option since DAS is paying for it. I just want to make sure the car looks as if nothing ever happened afterward.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Bump.... Nobody in MA has ever had body work done on their Audi? I'll take any advice I can get at this point.

Alright, thanks guys. That gives me some ideas of where to take it.

Has anyone ever had body work done at an Audi dealer? I'm hung up on whether that would be the route to go or if I should go somewhere like you guys mentioned above.

I highly recommend Anchor Auto Body in Woburn MA

http://www.anchorbody.com/

They did my S4 rear to perfection and installed my Carbon Fiber USP Spoiler as well and that came out great. I have also seen two other cars they have worked on in person and they looked great, one is gdawg'05a4 he is on the forums and has had a USP front installed, an S4 rear installed and doorblades painted by them as far as I know. They have fair pricing and they are perfectionists, esp Billy. Great clean shop, check them out. They are also a preffered shop for most insurance companies too so no hassle there.

I know that Brookline Audi (don't go there ever) and Burlington Audi do NOT do body work. I don't think that Westwood does either. Those are the only 3 that are close enough to Boston for me to bother going to.

No shit.... I just assumed that any dealership would do body work. Thanks for the heads up

Sounds like they do great work. I'll def check this place out. Thanks!

Yes, Billy @ Anchor does great work! They've done a LOT of work for the local Audi crowd.

Do people still vouch for Anchor Auto Body? I need to get my hood fixed from the fist fight that occurred on it.

[vts4kid]

I work a lot of body shops and there are some I would stay far away from and some I would take my car too. Atlantic Autobody in Revere is one. Family owned, Jeff is the owner and is a great guy, does great work, and does it in a decent time frame. He would be my first pick.

Exotic in Revere does good work but Johnny can be difficult to work with. They deal with lots of high end cars they will stretch the work out as long as they can..... (feels like a night club in their office)

EMB in East Boston I would take my car to too. Emmery is a good guy and would be fair price wise too.

Funny to see this thread bumped... As an update, I ended up using Hollis Auto Body in Ashland, MA and it was a great choice. I've worked with them 3 times now since this thread was posted and have been beyond happy with the results every time. The hood and fender still look like perfect, even 4 years after they worked on it. It's worth the drive out. Talk to Rich if you go out there.

Have also used Hollis, by far the best choice for doing repairs to an Audi

Hmmm. I'm planning on going to Eurosport in Wakefield for my dented fender. Don't think they're a body shop exactly but I'll report back.

[SilverSline]

I'll third the Hollis Auto Body recommendation........ very experienced with Audis and certified to repair the all aluminum cars (A8) as well.

Guys what about Allston Auto Body/Hynes Auto Repair, any feedback?

Do not go to Ira Audi in Danvers, had them do my car and they did shitty work. Very thin coat, chips very easily stay away from them for body work and anything else lol.
