Finally happened to me again. My 4Runner got nailed pretty good Wednesday evening near Littleton, Co. Damage to hood, roof, drivers side front fender and rear fender, and just above the doors. My insurance is letting me go to any shop I want. Anybody know of some good autobody shops near Highland Ranch, Littleton or Castle Rock? There is an ABRA near me and of course the Toyota dealer on Broadway. Any input would be much appreciated.

X2 on the PDR!
Last July we had a "microburst" out here in the Berkshires, golfball-sized hail screwed up my 03 and 08, with the 08 getting the majority of the damage.
My 03 had about 7-8 dings and i brought it to a chain called "Dent Wizard". They did great work, but they have a tough pricing schedule. $200 to get it in the door and 1st ding out with so much $$ per ding after. Luckily, insurance gave me $650 so it covered it,...and they took care of a couple "near the main damage area" at no cost, but i was different with the 08. A local shop owner here has a guy on staff that used to work for DW, and insurance gave me $2200 and they did it for that. Truck looked amazing after.
The thing you gotta watch out for is that the areas above the doors (part of the roof) is thicker steel and they need to devote more time to that area. Costs more $$.
Good luck!

I don't know of any places in the denver area but I know when I had 13-14K worth of damage to my 4runner state farm said that if I use the place they recommend then the work is guarenteed for the life of the car as long as you are the original owner. I would check to see if your insurance company offers something similar.
What is the estimate for damage? I took to 3 places here in albuquerque to get estimates along with Burt on Arapahoe in Denver, but they said they don't do hail damage repair at that location. If your damage is serious the pop and pull guys won't be able to help you. I had the 4runner completely repainted and a new roof put on because the damage was so extensive.
Also make sure the adjuster takes a good look at the bumpers and the plastic area's above the wheels. We didn't notice that the bumpers were dented and now the paint is coming off those cause those in flakes and will need to be repainted. Otherwise the work is great and has been since 2005 and 130,000 miles.
