For those who have had a car damaged in an accident or perhaps are thinking about having their car restored, I highly recommend Wade's Auto Collision in Marion. Wade offers low-cost estimates while providing friendly, courteous service. The end result is an excellent, thorough job, and he stands behind his work.
Earlier this year, I experienced the misfortune of a woman running a stop sign and broadsiding my vintage car. The rear door, quarter panel and wheel cover needed replacement, while the rear bumper had to somehow be remounted. I obtained several estimates and decided on a major auto rebuilder in Marion, but after weeks of stonewalling by this shop regarding the ordering of my parts, I finally was informed that the shop supervisor didn't want the job.
After catching Wade's ad on TV, I decided to give him a try. Wade was friendly and outgoing while assuring me that he could do the job, and best of all, he provided the lowest estimate.
I'm happy to report that my car now looks even better than before the accident. Wade rose to the occasion in this accomplishment. The best part of the experience was gaining a new friend.
So, if you are interested in excellent, bargain body-repair work, try Wade's Auto Collision.
