Honestly no idea but for a good Honda repair shop in Dallas, I highly
recommend Danny's Import Service in Lewisville, I've lived hell with other jackasses in the area but those guy never disappointed me, very honest and professional. Not exactly close from Downtown but must better than going to a shop close and filled with ignorant assholes.

Street Shop - 903-345-2600 I've known them for years, they do good honest work. Pat "Richard Gecko" > wrote in message ... > My 2003 Pilot took a pretty good hit in the front.

I'm not sure which Service King you are talking about, but my friend took
his truck to Service King. And I say Service King DOES suck. The truck had fairly minor damage....but included hail damage. S.K. had the truck for over 1 month (it might have been 2 months). It came back without the running board (cause they couldn't find the replacement)...and paint runs, and the pin stripes missing....and a couple of other issues. I think all said, it took him 4 or 5 months working hard with them to get anything done. I felt sorry for my friend. I'd never take ANYTHING to Service King.

A-hem, sorry, but have to disagree wholeheartedly!
Herb's SUCKS! They are probably no worse than any of the other "quantity over quality" shops out there, but that is exactly what they are. If you're looking for a quick, low quality repair, Herb's is the place. If you want the vehicle to look 'new', go somewhere else. (I have several negative references to back up my opinion and zero positive ones.) Not sure where, however. Just make sure to have a look at some completed work beforehand!

I strongly recommend Service King -- for an ABSURDLY HIGH ESTIMATE when
you need one. They are consistently higher than anyone else in my experience. I'm talking about a good 15% or more. |

I recommend Freeway Motors down in the Oak Lawn area. They do mostly Jaguar,
BMW, Rolls, Mercedes, and Ferrari. They're the body shop recommended by Jaguar for Dallas as well as the official shop for Overseas Motors. Incredible work. |

They've done all the work on my vehicles for the past 20 years. Unless they've moved recently; however, they are located on Plano Rd. Dan E-mail: (ROT13 encoded) |
