Garage in Seattle bodywork / suspension
Man, what a drag. I've taken great care of my 2005.5 A4 2.0T Quattro. Last Saturday night I had a low-speed impact where I was at-fault. There's slight suspension damage in the front end (I think it's slight at least), and the front headlamp assembly, quarter panel, and bumper need replacing or resurfacing. Two wheels look pretty crunched, too.
I took it to a garage that the dealer recommends, and the result was a quote for > $5,600 worth of work. In fact given the age of the car and that it has 117k miles, they said it's a total loss
At the same time, I bet if I could find a garage that would employ used parts where available and maybe live with the crunched wheels I could get the price down. Any recommendations for people who know what they're doing on Audis in Seattle and who can cut me some slack on the price?
