Default Decent Body Shop in Tucson, AZ

I'm looking for a decent body shop in Tucson, AZ to see how much it would run to get a dent in my tailgate fixed. It is nothing major, just something I'd like to have taken care of. Jim Click Auto is not a place I will deal with, and the body shop next door to Thoroughbred Nissan does half-*** work. I know, because they fixed my truck after hail damage. They got paint overspray on the driver's side window and upper part of the door, and scratched the front window.

I'd also like to know if anyone knows if the same body shop may do custom work. I'd like to see if they could relocate the tailgate handle to the inside for a clean, custom look on the back. Thanks.

MY TUNDRA: Desert Sand Mica, 2003 SR5 Toyota Tundra Access Cab, with (debadged) TRD Off-Road Package.

CURRENT ADD-ONS, BOLT-ONS, SLAP-INS & MODIFICATIONS:

EXTERNAL: Toyota of Dallas Sports Grille, Performance Products bed mat, PIAA silicon wiper blades, Sylvania Silverstar headlight bulbs, Bully stainless steel nerf bars, debadged of all labels & insignias externally, Stant 10509 locking gas cap/cover, bullet style valve stem covers, OEM Tow Package (130A alternator, transmission cooler, etc.), 2" blind spot mirrors (Wal-Mart parking lot aids), 12" stubbie antenna, color-keyed door edge trim, clear front corners.
INTERNAL: OEM dash cover, super white/blue xenon interior lights (look awesome at night), Wheelskins sand colored steering wheel cover, OBX sports pedals, map light mod, Tundra labeled door sill protectors.

And, a lot more to come!

All I have to do now is invest in the Redneck Retirement System*, then I can finish with all the modifications I want on my truck.

Default Bodyshop Repair

My insurance company sent me to Dans Body Shop on 22nd & Alvernon because they come highly recommended from many of their clients. I went there and they had the highest bid out of anybody but does it matter if insurance pays for the repair. I told State Farm that they gave me the highest bid and they said "but they do great work"!
I ended up bringing my wifes 2001 Honda Odyssey to dent busters because I did not want repair paint to be mixed up with my factory paint, you know because of future paint fading. They did an incredible job, you could not tell there was a dent there and I saved the insurance company $1100.00 .

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into Dan's Auto Body. I would not be going through my insurance to fix the tailgate, because it is a minor dent. I do have other "minor" body defects but nothing more than annoyances. I really won't worry about getting them fixed until my truck, heaven forbid, suffers more severe body damage. I was not satisfied with the work Thoroughbred Auto Body (not affiliated with the dealership) did, and I would not want to take my truck back to them. Thanks to them, my left rear access cab door does not match the rest of the truck. It is slightly darker, and noticeable in some light. They did fix a dent in the opposite side door though for free, and did a pretty good job at that so I didn't complain. Hey, if Dan's could fix all of my problems for a reasonable price I might get my truck "restored."
