And you guys are of the opinion that a universal overcharge is better?

Are you aware of studies showing that dealer sponsored body work is done better?

So really you think it OK to pay more for less as long as the guy has a business license and a dealer affiliation?

I think you're talking apples and oranges, and frankly I don't know what the he** you're talking about. When did anybody say anything about a dealer? We're saying that the fly by night dude is obviously unethical and not to be trusted. So that leaves you with places that people recommend from experience as doing a good job and not cheating you. The insurance is paying for it anyway.

we're talking picnic table and legitimate bodyshops here...NOT necessarily dealers....I have not had an automobile in a dealership in 40 years......but I also have not had one in a flybynite unknown shop either.
