I just had some serious scratches and a 3" dent (right where
the sharp lines of the roof corner meet) repaired.  From talking with Harry
Q. Bovik, I decided to get estimates from three shops:

	Bob's 916 Penn Ave (Wilkinsburgh) 241-9626
	American Auto 5101 Liberty 681-1081
	Vince's 238 Spahr St. 361-9816

Bob's estimate was $218 while American Auto quoted $360, apparently for the
same work.  Vince's, it seems, does not exist anymore.

I left my car with Bob.  Two days later it was done.  I was really amazed.
No clue of the damage remained.  He charged exactly the estimated amount, and
said that sometimes the new lacquer dulls in cold weather, so I should bring
it back in April for a free buffing if I notice any dulling.

I am very happy with the work.

Rick.
