We looked at dozens of auto body shops in Pueblo West and the surrounding areas, assessing experience, certifications, and amenities for customers. After narrowing the criteria down to the five most important, we then scaled our list based on shops’ performance against these needs. For major repairs, either via collision or hail damage, we’ve weighted the data based on years of experience, insurance company relationships, industry certifications as well as quality-of-life amenities for vehicle owners. Below is a detailed breakdown:
How We Ranked the Body Shops
When a Pueblo West driver is without their vehicle, it affects work, school, family obligations, and more. Fixing one is no small investment either. To ensure that the shops had the training and expertise in the local climate, we weighted those factors highest. We also assessed shops based on how easy it was for owners to minimize the disruption, whether by handling deductibles, offering rentals, or other features. The algorithm breaks down like this:
- Years of Experience (25 percent): Certifications are key, but overall time in the community serves as an indicator that technicians and staff understand how Pueblo West’s climate and culture affect vehicle repair needs.
- ICAR-Gold Certification (25 percent): ICAR-Gold is a leading certification for auto body repairs, indicating that not just technicians but other staff are able to coordinate significant autobody repairs.
- Amenities for Owners (20 percent): Few auto body shops handle the full “being without a vehicle during repairs” process well, but owners simply cannot be without a driving option, so we weighted this highly.
- Insurance Company Relationships (15 percent): Since most people are expecting to only pay for what their insurance will not, a shop must be able to work with insurers and get approval for all repairs.
- Locally Owned and Operated (15 percent): When a question of tie-breakers emerged, we went with shops that are invested in the community and have strong relationships as seen in customer reviews.
