Sadly my first new car from 2016 isn’t looking so good after someone hit me. Luckily nobody was hurt, and the police report found the other driver at fault.

I am pretty sure we can choose the auto body shop of our choice, and I was wondering if there were any recommendations for body shops near New Haven.

I would like a high quality job done, hopefully to like new condition with hopefully OEM Kia parts (door handle no longer works). I have never had to look for a body shop before so I don’t even know what to look for. I appreciate any advice!

Autoworks of Westerville, the best around. They will do all the insurance haggling for you and your car will be as good as new.

If you're willing to put some work in you can pocket atleast $1000 from the insurance. Doors are pretty easy to swap out and should be under 500 a piece color matched.
