Henry's Autobody, Manchester, NH

Dont know much about their work. They have a cruise night on saturday's and their shop is HUGE. From what I could see inside the shop, looks like they did really nice work.

I'm from Nashua. My good friend owns Amherst Street Collision and Custom down here. About a 15 minute drive from you.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=57829253

Check them out. Let me know if you need anything else. 883-5900, Awesome guys over there, Todd is the owner. He will take care of you 100%!!!

Robbie

EDIT: Just wanted to throw this in there... Not sure what Todd can do for the quarter panel. But the cost of the right side quarter panel is like $579 on year one.

http://yearone.com/serverfiles/fbshopmain2.asp?cat=G (not a direct link) You have to go to body, then quarter panels/ floorpans.

So all those guys flapping their gums in your other thread about it being under $500 bucks are wrong.

Call him, or go down and get the estimate next week.

Dude exit 7 Nashua. It's not even 30 minutes! Two tolls, hooksett/bedford.

If you really don't want to travel that far, McDowells Auto body in Manchester is the only other place I'd recommend.

No not sure. Seriously though drive down to exit 7. You get off, and loop around @ Burger King and go bakc towards the highway. Amsherst St. Auto Body is on the right. It will take you no more than 20 minutes doing like 55.

I don't think McDowells has a website. Look it up in your phone book.

Yeah, agreed. Insurance companies BLOW. I'm glad you found him though, you're lucky! It was parked when he hit it though right?

All those guys who said it would be under 500 bucks in that other thread, I just laughed at. A new factory quarter panel is over 500 alone LOL. And you DON'T want the cheap overseas sheetmetal.

Todds a good guy though. He'll take care of you.

EDIT: I just went back and read that other thread. Not sure how throughly Todd checked it out. But did you mention the rear end feeling different?

I'm sure you would know if it was really bad. But if you need me to take a look at it up on the lift, I can probably do it some time. I can't tell from the pics how hard he hit, or if it even hit the tire, so let me now.

Well actually on the estimate sheet Chris printed out (Todd was out for like 30mins when I got there) it says sheet metal on there w/ a price of 499.. the rest is replenishing and repainting..

It was parked yea. I havent felt anything major difference feeling. It could be just me thinking its worse than it is. I dont think it is though because the lower piece of of the bumper was not damaged.

That's cool than, because list was $579. Not sure what Todd does for customer supplied parts. You can give him a call, and just ask him. He's a straight up guy.

I work on BMWs. But if a customer supplies his own parts, it's all good. The labor rate just goes up a little bit.

YES I just called the dbags parents cause he was trying to procrastinate and **** me over. His dad is sending me a check for 845.10 for the fix.

haha i was trying to think if i could make money off buying a used panel and getting todd to install and paint, but i just called and he said he cant install a new panel cause he would have to cut both and since its weld on itd be like twice the hours. If it was bolt on it would be np tho.

Was a good idea tho
THANK YOU for your help. I will def get new pics of after the fix. I hope itll look just as good as before =O

Good deal. He's got a bunch of cool bikes and stuff going over there right now. I'll probably stop by at some point to see whats up. He'll do a good job bro, don't worry.
