Where is MINI recommending body work to be done?

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Haury's is the recommended choice by Seattle MINI. They are really well regarded but can be a bit slow and pricey. Owner Jeff Butler is also an expert in Insurance Law and dealing with insurance companies.

Thanks Martin for the input. I know they are a Verifax certified business too so they must have high standards.
Happy Thanksgiving! Stephen |

What option do people recommend for when paying out of your own wallet and not insurance? (knowing that body work is expensive just because the supplies can be)

Our Subaru has visited Cook's Auto Body three times, a third generation family owned panel beating shop. Always looked good, with perfect silver paint matching. Les.

Well I have found that the place that I took SMOG to, Rainier Collision in Gig Harbor did faulty work and then back billed the insurance company for more money!
The repair looked just ok and not great but I let it go, but then I got a call from an ex worker from that company (whistle blower) explaining what they really did. I will not go into the details but the guy was right and the car is now being checked/re-repaired at Fix Auto (ex-Metro Collision Repair) in Tacoma, a block from Griot's. VeriFacts went over the car and found that it was not repaired to BMW/MINI specs. Fix Auto is doing it right and my insurance company, USAA, is making sure it is done to BMW Spec. This saga started on Sept 11 and Lee still is not in her car driving!! Go with Fix Auto in Tacoma |
