Looking for an honest auto body shop

Our '99 minivan needs a few large dents pulled out/refinished. We don't need anything fancy, just competent work at a fair price done by honest people.

Anyone know a place that fits the bill? Preferably within walking distance of the center Slope (but I'll consider a train ride if the place is highly recommended)?

    Some years ago I dealt several times with:

    Culver Collision & Body Works Inc
    824 39th St (a couple of blocks from a subway entrance)
    Brooklyn, NY 11232-3230
    (718) 438-4444

    They were honest in the sense that they never, ever tried to screw me. However, I have a feeling that they may have overcharged my insurance company.

    I had no problem at all with the quality of their work.

    Isn't "honest auto body shop" an oxymoron?

    I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help you? :mrgreen:

    I would hate to disparage an entire industry, broad brush and all, but I've never run across one that wasn't into screwing _someone_. What's up with that?

    The guy on 4th Ave between Garfield and Carroll is pretty good. I've been to him a few times for mechanical repairs and he always seemed reasonable.
