So about three weeks ago somebody tried stealing my car and used a screwdriver to wedge off the keyhole cover on my driver side, in the process making a little nick on the upper part of the door panel right above the keyhole.

Since it was just a small nick I got it bondo'd (yeah I know, bad idea but whatever, it's a mistake I won't make again) and the piece put back on. But I'm not happy with doing this and I'd really want to fix it the right way.

What are some good shops around the College Park/Columbia Maryland area that will do a good job repairing this? I figure the panel will have to be taken off to be hammered back into shape, the bondo will have to be taken off, and the door will probably need to be repainted.

I don't have any pictures right now but if anybody could please give me some suggestions on a good auto shop that will be sure to fix this RIGHT. Thanks for your help guys!

 

Mile one in glen burnie Md.Excellent work and fast.

 

wow...looks like someone might have know about the window roll down for the G's. Of course they didnt know you need the key to drive away

None the less you can try Royal Auto Body in Rockville, Md. They did a great job on my car. Now fast is another thing since they are the most busiest shop that i have ever seen. Their lot is full, some times doubled up on work that they have to do. If your wiling to wait go for it. If not then go with Brians^ choice for good speddy service.

 

Thank you very much, I'll check Mile One since this is my daily driver and it'll be a hassle having to borrow a car from someone for more than a couple days. You guys are referring to the MileOne Collision Center right? I checked their website and got all of these random stores....

 

^thats any shop..everyone has random stories about them. No one and i mean no one is perfect. Sometimes it works out sometimes it dosnt. From my experience and my situation Royal did an above and beyond job. Just ask any members here in the club and they will tell you. Since your problem is not as tremendous as mine was, then go got Mile One. G/l

 

We do have a hookup though at Royal Auto. I know the owner. I'd PM Arjunz and he'll give you more details about it. He's handling the hookups there.

 

Thanks Pratik, just shot him a PM. I was actually thinking about joining you guys on that OC trip and introduce myself last Saturday, since Ikea College Park is about 5 minutes away from where I live, but I had work!
