My vehicle is in very good condition considering its age, and I am not willing to get rid of it to buy new. So I started my journey looking for and visiting body shops. I had spent two months and over 20 phone calls to body shops in the Fort Wayne surrounding areas. Seventy percent of them said they do NOT do rust repair. In Indiana - really?? Out of the Thirty percent that did do rust repair, they either gave me very high estimates, refused to give me an estimate up front, or claimed I needed more work done that was necessary. A few of them were just plain unreliable or shady. Then I found Hartman's. Known today as The Toy Shed. Ethan is one of the owners. Upon stopping by their clean shop, Ethan actually came out and went under my vehicle to do a more thorough check of the rust situation. He gave me a preliminary written estimate while I was there. It was a very fair estimate. He is knowledgeable, and one of the most honest young men I have had the pleasure of doing business with in a long time. They not only completed all the work in a timely manner, but did some extras at no additional charge for most of it. He said they cut out all the rust before welding on the new. This is what you need for the job to be done right. He took pictures also, so I could see the hidden rust places and some of the phases of the job. Ethan was patient and available to answer all my questions. When ever he said he would call me, he did! From the paperwork, to the communications, to the body work; it was all professional, honest, fair, and well done. One of the only shops left in the area that does honest, good, rust repair. They will be the body shop I turn to in the future. I was told that they also do insurance/collision repair. I highly recommend Hartman's/Toy Shed for auto body or rust repair.
