Body Shop on North Side/Hamilton County

[TwinTurbo]

The wife and I were T-boned Thanksgiving evening while driving home, so I find myself in need of a reputable body shop relatively close to the Fishers/Noblesville area. Here's the twist: USAA, the insurance company of the offending driver, has a "relationship" in place with ABRA Auto Body and Glass, which would result in them facilitating a tow, estimate and repair with relative ease. That sounds great, but I am a car guy, and I put a higher priority on quality repairs over an easier process.

So, does anybody have any experience with ABRA? If not, any recommendations on a quality body shop close to my area? My car is driveable, but probably only for a short distance, and definitely not in the rain. Thanks in advance!

Not close to fishers, but AllenM on here owns and runs Diamond Collision in Avon. I have seen his work and highly recommend him and his crew.

Thanks for the tip. That's a little farther than I wanted, but I do like the idea of supporting a local business and INGOer.

Story's collision center which is now partly owned by hare Chevrolet in noblesville.
If you really want quality, the tin ranch in Westfield used to be the best....and by far the most expensive. That may have changed. I'd call storys.

Hare/Story is pretty close; they look like a viable option. Thanks a lot!

Have been pleased with the repairs from Church Brothers in Castleton / Fishers. Lifetime on work from them, not the insurance company.

There's Fisher's Collision over on 37. They did the estimate for my old truck some years ago and were very professional about it. And the estimate was for USAA, my insurer.

You should still do it. Allen and company do a great job. I've had work taken care of there a few times, and it is the only place I would go now. Worked well with my insurance, rental car company, etc. On one occasion I was having my car towed from an accident and I told the driver to take it to Diamond, and his exact words were "wise choice".

I've taken something to Church Brothers in the past, and I would NEVER, EVER go back there for ANYTHING. I would not recommend them to anyone.
