The following companies were top rated by Twin Cities Consumers' Checkbook and Angie's List. Both companies have members or subscribers who rate local service providers. Checkbook goes one step further to independently rate the fairness of the prices charged.

Bon Auto Body & Glass (Minneapolis, 612-866-8884)

Ed's Collison & Glass (Maple Grove, 763-425-0077)
