Atomized Industry

Can’t recommend this place highly enough — great quality work and customer service! The work was done on time and on budget. The side of my car that they fixed looks better than the one they didn’t!
Of the 4 different places I went to, Kory was the only one that actually bothered to take the time to give me a written estimate of what it would cost to fix both with insurance and out of pocket — everyone else just eyeballed a (ridiculously high) number and told me to go get the insurance estimate and then they’ll haggle with them on ‘my behalf’, warning me that GEICO tends to ‘lowball’ estimates. Seems that they were just interested in using my car to extract as much money from GEICO as possible.
I got quotes of around $ 5000-​$ 6000 from other ‘big name’ repair places. Basically, they wanted to replace everything — the most expensive option. Kory gave me a quote of $ 2500 — «We’ll fix it», he said. Imagine that! A body repair shop that actually repairs bodies, rather than just replaces them with new parts.
In short, Kory is the only one that seemed to view me as a customer, and not just the guy that drove over the object that can be used to extract as much money as possible from the insurance company.

You never want to HAVE TO BE a repeat customer of a body shop, but if I am ever in need I will come directly back to these guys.
Had a minor fender bender – had to replace the bumper, a taillight, and fix a quarter panel. First body shop (insurance’s): $ 3476! At that price, the insurance company was writing my car off as a total loss. So I did some homework: three estimates from other body shops ranging from $ 2100-​$ 3000. Finally wore the insurance company down and they sent me a check and left me to get my car fixed on my own. Was prepared to pick one of the three body shops when a coworker (who has had a string of auto accidents in the last year) suggested Atomized Industry. One more estimate wouldn’t kill me, so why not…
Atomized Industry’s estimate: $ 800?! I was shocked! Frankly if I hadn’t gotten such a glowing review from my coworker (and seen the results) I would have written these guys off as «too cheap.» (FYI: Learned it is cheaper and quicker, 4 – 5 days vs. 4 – 5 weeks, for you to pay for body shop repairs out of pocket as opposed to letting the insurance company handle it. Basically the money and time difference is the shop’s hassle of dealing with the insurance company’s red tape and securely storing the vehicle during the unavoidable back and forth. The risk is the body shop correctly estimating the cost of the needed repairs.)
Nevertheless for that price, I asked about getting a couple «extras» done: paint rear spoiler (peeling clear coat), repair a front passenger door (not airtight after locksmith), and repair and paint area behind front driver’s side tire (~3″ rusted dint). I had gotten an estimate for these a few years ago from Maaco and others but at min $ 750 I could live with the blemishes. So back to Atomized Industry, estimate: only another $ 200?!
So I dropped off the car on a Monday hoping: (1) I would have it back that week – unlikely given my previous experience with other shops, and (2) they would come in only a couple hundred over that $ 1000 bid. The owner, Kory Hill, takes it as a matter of honor to get a job done when and for how much was agreed. Proof! Four days and $ 1000 (exactly) later, I have my car back and better than ever!
I am VERY PLEASED and will be back the next time I need body work.
The only caution I give others is the shop has recently relocated to this address so the building is not labeled well (yet). Keep the address handy, and you’ll find it.
