Default Quality body shop in the Mobile area?

Hey wassup everyone! My name is Chad checking in from NYmetro needing a little assistance. My bestfriend and my old roomate lives in Mobile. We used to live in Gulfport MS, but moved after Katrina hit and after I was done with my active duty service in the Navy. Im in NYC now . Well this morning he was on the way to work on I-10 west and was in the left lane. A truck hauling a large load of gravel did not have his load secured properly and dumped it on the road. The truck was in the right lane and the gravel that fell off the bed damaged the front bumper, hood, the whole passenger side from front fender to rear quarter panels and roof. My friend attempted to get the truck to pull over but the driver refused to stop and my friend followed. The truck drivers said he had a load to deliver and could not be bothered!!

Well my friend called the cops and kept on with trailing the truck and shortly after the call a police man pulled the truck over. While doing so the police car suffered some damage as well including a busted windsheild! They went through the standard routine and the police officer had my friend leave once he was done with the paperwork.

Now he is standing by on word for the insurance company. So he is in search of a good paint shop in the Mobile area since most of his car will need work. Like all of us S2000 owners he has a great attention to detail. His car is a Infinitly btw. Thanks for reading my post and please give me some feedback for some quality body shops that you have personally experienced good things with!!!!

I've used Cockrell's on Schillenger. Fair price, but a little bit of a wait. No complaints about quality, but it's hard to love bodywork.

Was that the yellow car? I saw a yellow S2K with some damage going west yesterday about 1 or 1:30 in the afternoon. Those trucks were dumping sh!t all over I-10. Looked like he had damage to the left rear fender as well.

There's a Starbuck's right next to that McDonald's that clearly hires 15 year olds.
