Good Evening!
Can anyone recommend a *top-notch* body shop in the Central CT area? I have the very beginnings of the dreaded MkIV hatch-rust-under-the-moulding starting and I want to get it fixed ASAP!!! My father passed the car on to me. He was religious about keeping it washed and waxed, but probably never thought that water collected under the moulding and took so long to dry. At this point it has not progressed to being visible without lifting the strip, which is why I want to move on this very quickly.
I got two estimates today... ~$600 from the Toyota delearship in Middletown and ~$780 from a shop, also on Rt3, that did some insurance work for me last year on my other car (vandalism/headlight theft repair) . Both estimates included pulling and reinstalling the hatch glass as has been suggested here on SF as the *only* way to do the job right.
On a side note... does anyone have any experience with this Toyota dealership? Good or bad?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice anyone may offer.
