Re: Any recommendations for bodyshops around worcester, marlboro area? (Chocolate and Cheese)

Well I haven't specifically had any body work done here, but Waldron's Auto Body on Elm st in Marlboro. I went there for my insurance inspection and the guy was very professional and courteous. Also, one of our work trucks had body work done there, and it seemed to turn out pretty well, my coworker hasn't complained since he got it back.

Waldron's Auto Body in Marlboro. Took care of my wife's Reflex Silver Variant from 2 accidents (1 deer hit in front and 1 Taurus into the hatch) and did a great job with the body work and the paint matching.

i dont really like waldrens. hes a *****. if you have to stay in marlboro, Al Broueders is best ( i totally botched his name) but if your willing to go to clinton, my father works at Henna Color. Ask for Alzy. Hes been doing body work since waaaaaaaaaaay before I was born. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

PS- I'll be back in good 'ol Maaaaaarlborough in 2.5 days! Amen! Good bye Texas! Sorry, had to share my happiness.

Maybe you've had issues with Waldron, but neither my wife nor I have. We've used them for over 15 years and they've always done everything right, including perfect color matching on some difficult paint jobs. Plus, if he screws up he'll fix it without charge. Just my $.02.

waldron is one of my easiest customers to deal with on the wholesale side of things,
Broduer is almost impossible to get a car done on time in time or even in for that matter (he needs a bigger shop).

Thanks all! I'm leaning towards waldron, for now.
Keep 'em coming.
If you had to gety both sides of your car painted, would it make sense to paint the whole thing?
Can a bodyshop do a whole car and get it back to showroom condition?

What did you do that requires both sides to be painted? A little off-roading?
With my wife's car, for the back accident they had to replace the entire bumper assembly, the hatch and repaint the entire ass end. The other one they had to replace the entire front bumper assembly and hood while straightening a slight downward slope in the left front by the headlight. It's looked like it rolled out of the showroom both times. Now we have to get the front redone again because some a--hole hit and ran in a parking lot and broke 2 of the 3 lower grilles and moved the bumper back about 1/4". Hopefully we can just rehang it.

This ****** in a LS460 sideswiped the passenger side a couple weeks ago. Tried to blame me, even the cop laughed at him. Since he was found at fault what other compesation could i get besides bodywork?
Then the car got hit on the driver's side while it was in a parking garage a week ago. Hit and run but I found a wallet on the ground next to the drivers door. He is claiming he had nothing to do with it. Says he was in his brothers $40K red mustang that night, I found out he drives a silver car and guess what color is on my car.

you can get "diminished value reimbursement" for those claims because the car is brand new, and any sort of paintwork will greatly reduce it's trade-in value. this is nice because you get money to fix the car, *and* additional money to do whatever you want with (mods?).

I'm sure he'll get his in the end but it looks like he's getting off free and clear. I'm stuck with a $500 deductable.

insurance is only paying out $119 out of $950 damage for last incident.
they made it out as 2 separate claims so i would have to pay 2 deductables.
I'm mad
