Whether it's a big or small auto body repair, the very best auto body shop in the area is Jerry's Custom Automotive on Capitol Hill. Sad to say, I've had a lot of "dings" on my cars over the years, so I've used them a number of times. The shop is conveniently located close to two Metro stops, so you easily can take the Metro home, or you can pick up a ZipCar from one of the Capitol Hill locations nearby.

You can reach Jerry's Custom Automotive at 202-543-3000. When you call, ask for Jim. He's in charge.

I highly recommend John Ticktin, the owner of JT Autoservice in Bethesda, 301-493-6257. He was recommended by two people on the Cleveland Park Listserv; I found him to be honest, intelligent, highly able, and a man with whom it was a pleasure to do business. He works with all insurance companies -- you can go to him for car repairs, which he guarantees, even if his name is not on the list given to you by your insurance company.

We had a nice experience with Autobody Dimensions, which has an office/drop-off on River Road at Falls Road.

I have used Quattro Auto Body twice and both times was very pleased with the quality of their work, the timeline, and their professionalism. I cannot comment on price because the damage was covered by insurance of the people who hit my car.

I have had several jobs done at Bethesda Collision Center at 5202 River Road, just this side of the Giant. Call 301-654-3333. Gary Tavenner, the owner/manager seems very professional. The work work was done well, on time, at a reasonable price.
