I went to GIVENS COLLISION REPAIR CENTER in Frederick, I would NOT even think about going there... many short cuts, and the short cuts were safety related, not paint quality. The paint seemed to hold up well, the frame was simply done incorrectly and the spot welds were horrible. Not sure if the owner even knows his crew was turning out such bad work. They had my car for 3 months, my body shop in Texas has had it for 1 month and did a full paint job + custom body work as well as the exact same collision repair, well, did the repair they way it should have been done. I will eventually send the owner a letter and pictures with my displeasure.

I feel your pain in finding a quality shop, it has taken me years to find a good shop that puts the customer first. Too bad you are not in Texas... ship your car.
