You paying or is insurance? If you’re paying yourself, then Quality Auto Works. If insurance, Tanner’s.

Their insurance is giving me the payout to pay the shop

I had good luck with Gerber Collision on St Louis!

Take it to Hammers

I have never found a body shop in Springfield, only panel replacement shops. If you find one, let us know. I have a car that needs hammer and dolly work.

Hammers is one of the few remaining locally owned body shops in town. They’ve always have done solid work. Many other shops like Tanners and Dodson-Williams have sold out to national brands.

Just take it to Hammers.

I've used Hammers three times over the years. They do quality work and are super friendly! Turnaround was pretty quick as well. Only place I'll go for body and collision.

Try Barker's. They're out at W.Bypass & Chestnut, and they've done well by me.

Dings N Things: 417-886-0151. I’ve used them twice and they did an awesome job.

Gerbers used to be St. Louis auto body till owner retired, but new owner kept all employees and I’ve always had great experience there

I hear they are gonna fix it right???

I'll second Hammer's. They fixed my car after I was in a wreck, made it very easy, and the level of service was top notch.

First choice: Hammers Second choice: Barkers

Third.

Have the body shop bill them directly. If you accept payment first, it’s likely with a clause that there will be no more payments against that claim. Which means when the body shop finds hidden damage, you’re SOL.

Dings N Things is a great, old school place run by father and son that generally DGAF but provide great work and great customer service.
