For those in Ithaca and/or Tompkins County: What's the best bodyshop?
My 2nd post on the boards - first one was actually posted on the general B6 forum but apparently to no avail. It was suggested that I try the regional forum.
To summarize - I basically struck a deer (perhaps a fawn) on the drive home last night when it sprinted out of nowhere in front of me. The deer flew up perhaps 10 ft, only to fall back down onto the car to deal a second blow.
After inspection, looks like there are no damage internally. Damaged/bent hood, broken grill, and when the deer fell down from the fall, it inflicted a small dent onto the pillar on the passenger side next to the windshield (windshield was not damaged).
Additionally, the force of the impact pushed the left headlight out of alignment by about a centimeter.
I was hoping to hear from anybody residing in the Ithaca and/or Tompkins County area in suggesting the best bodyshop they've been to. Insurance will cover the damages (minus my $500 deductible...that will have to change seeing how many deers are around - I am originally from California). I'm sure there must be plenty of Ithacans around because a search for 'ithaca' yielded plenty of results and on top of that, I see tons of Audi's around here!
Thanks for all the help in advance,
Kevin

honestly...i wouldn't trust ithaca for body work
You can go to Bill Cooke dealership but I am sure that'll be expensive. I suggest talking to Dan McBoost and taking your car up to the Syracuse area for repair.
Btw, you in Cornell or Ithaca?

Re: honestly...i wouldn't trust ithaca for body work
Hey, Airmax - I am indeed a grad student of Cornell. If I do take it to the Bill Cooke dealership should I even be concerned with the price?
My insurance will still supposedly 'match' any appraisal discrepancies if there are any and either way I'm still out only $500 from the deductible.
Thanks,
Kevin
