I recently had about $2500 worth of body work done on my 87 Accord by Derkas Auto in Glassport. My mechanic, who I believe is very reputable, recommended them. My insurance company knew of them and had a positive opinion. And they did good work at a reasonable price. There was one minor new dent on the body after I got it back, but they have shown a willingness to fix it . This points to a potential disadvantage -- they are in Glassport, about 35 minute+ drive from CMU (hence, I've not been out to have the ding fixed). Good luck.
