  14. Accidents and hailstorms are unforeseen incidents
    that prove to be taxing on cars. One of the greatest goof ups an auto body repair San
    Jose shop might make is often to paint your entire part of
    damage well before tests the particular paint to verify this
    matches. Excessive complaints would indicate that an Acura body
    shop Chicago cannot be trusted.
