    Default Please recommend a shop in Calgary for body metal works

    My R32 skyline got rear-ended a couple of weeks ago. I need to get the car frame straightened out and replace its trunk floor etc.

    Please recommend a shop in Calgary area best for frame, metal and welding works. I am not very concerned about the paint, and the cost is not an issue as well since the insurance company pays everything.

    Thanks!

    there is no way an insurance company will pay for this on a skyline, prepare to expect a cheque as they will write the car off.

    I would almost guarantee to straighten frame, weld in all new trunk,etc at a shop would be $10,000+

I had a thing for AMC Eagle AWD's as a kid for some bizarre reason, so I spent a lot of time going to the library and reading up on how AWD works in that car. I even hitchhiked to the library once cuz my parents were too lazy to drive me haha. Ya, I'm a nerd.

    Just off the phone with the insurance company. They want me to have the car repaired.

    A little off topic, but when someone hits you, how does their insurance deem how much your car is worth? Get it appraised when you buy it?

    ^ yep GS Auto & Truck Frame is probably the best place in the city to do frame work.
