Help in Chicago! Need a bodyshop due to me being careless and stupid

Help! I need a good body shop or dent removal place.

I have this nasty habit of sometimes stopping in the cross-walk. I did it this morning and blocked a person walking their dog. I backed-up and whack, I hit a Honda Passport behind me. I'm kicking myself for being careless and stupid. Serves me right for stopping in the cross-walk. Now I have 4 deep dents/dings (what I consider deep paint damaged dings) in the rear door of my 02 Avant.

I'm devastated. Help before I go crazy.

Anyone know a well-trusted bodyshop in Chicago who does excellent work?!

Not even 7 month old 02 Avant. Argh.

Anyway..there's a great shop in naperville and another in lake bluff that the exchange uses...

that shop is one of the few in the country that can repair the A8's...they are very good...call the exchange or ask Sameer or markbradford about the shop in Naperville...my experiiences with other shops have all been horrible so I can't recdcomend them...but stay away from C & W and Gold Coast Auto in the city.

Thanks for the speedy reply thus far

The pictures in your post, is that your Avant? Niice. I would like to subtlely mod my car, maybe add a chip and some nice rims. Any suggestions?

In the very early stages....

It's a losing fight...are you ready to toss money into a hole?

Once you start you can't stop...my advice is to saty away from Audiworld! This place has cost me a fortune, and these damn people are fiends not friends...run...run quickly and don't look back.

Thanks..it's my car and my nightmare...click the sig for more info.

A terrific body shop is Neat Street Autobody in Aurora, they have a rep: Ray, at Laurel Audi...

ive seen two paintjobs from them, they were perfect. Call Laurel Audi and Ray is there, so you can drop stuff off there and he takes care of it. His number is:
630-918-9505
www.neatstreetautobody.com

Truly terrific work, did 26k (that is not a typo) of work to my dad's old A6. Siberian here on AW had his Sanitorum repainted, it was flawless. Im getting some S4 parts painted by them as well.

Tell him Sameer, the guy with the Miata, sent ya, he should remember me
