    You would be amazed at just what they can do now days. I have seen cars that have been rolled and fixed up to showroom standard.
    It is really a decision for you to make.
    If the garage is reputable, and you think they will do the job well, my advice is to fix the car. Ask to see previous work done by the garage. If you are in any doubt that the work will only be a half hearted effort, walk away.
    You should be guarenteed that the car will be in perfect condition. Why else would you fix it?
    If they cannot guarentee their own work.....well enough said.
    I just got a car back from a panel beater after it was rear ended. Just amazing quality of work and the car is straighter than it ever was. He explained to me that people are just lazy and will not take the time to fix cars anymore.
