I recently had the unfortunate incident of backing up my car into a red stationary poll over at Andy’s Custard in Tyler while backing up to turn out and on to Broadway. My all time favorite icecream in Tyler is Marble Slab but sometimes the convenience of a drive through that Andy’s offers is much better. So I put a little ding on my car’s bumper that caused it to have a little bit of an outie. This ding was messed up plastic and gave a really ugly mark on what I consider to be an awesome looking car. I had to do something about this right away as it is just too nice of a car to let that stay. 
I know how much auto body work costs and have taken a few cars to an auto body and paint repair shop over the years and listened to the estimates. The estimates can be pretty brutal. I actually have never been to an auto body place where the estimate was under $2,000. My ding on my bumper was about one square inch but my estimate came to around $800. I decided to pay them out of pocket rather than file an insurance claim. I really don’t want my insurance going up over a stupid thing like this. I told Davis Green auto body paint and repair in advance that I would be paying for the body work out of pocket and not from insurance. I recommend anyone considering paying for the repairs yourself to mention this at the beginning like I did.
I assume auto body repair places are not supposed to adjust the price based on if you have insurance pay or you pay yourself but it is always good to let them know. My estimate ended up being right about $800 and they offered me a full auto detail for $26 extra which I decided would be worth it so I added that to the final price. $800 is a whole lot of money but I have a nice car I saved up for over several years and I really wanted to keep it in tip top condition. You can imagine how bad I felt when I slowly backed up into a pole protecting a trash can box at Andy’s. It was not a good feeling. I did not see it and by the time my car alarm sounded that I was getting too close it was too late.
Now I am $800 shorter in change but Davis Green did an unbelievable job. You cannot see any damage or discoloration after they finished with my automotive. Davis Green auto body shop had to remove the bumper, melt the plastic, sand, prime, and repaint over the damaged area and you cannot tell that it had gone through any of this. If you need a good auto body shop in Tyler Texas I would strongly recommend you try Davis Green. They are certified in BMW auto body work which is the car I had to take in to have fixed.
Some Tyler Texas auto body shops I have been to are not the most honest people and in my case I have seen some outright insurance fraud when I was younger with some of the things these places were doing. Davis Green body shop never indicated any bad behavior or potential for insurance fraud. This auto body shop in Tyler TX is honest and professional in how they operate which you will notice as you first walk in the door. The facility from the outside is remarkable as this place has recently been built in a new location over the last 5 years and has had another addition added on during this time. Davis Green continues to get bigger and better over the years and with the knowledge that I am dealing with certified BMW auto body work and repair I feel more than comfortable taking my car there next time.
