I tend to do as much of my own work as I can, but I've heard good things about Bear Frame & Axle for alignments, and Autotek for diagonistics and general repair, Budget Transmissions on Broadway for trannies (talk to Tony Eben).
Bodywork? Boy, there's a hard one. Depends upon what you want to do. Maaco on Sante Fe south of C470 did a good job of shooting a '79 Caprice I had, but you'd probably want something better, and that was back in '94 - turnover is a big problem for shops these days. I've seen some quality work come out of Bradford in downtown Littleton. Heard of Spence's Abra Auto Body on S. Broadway, couple of people at work satisfied with what they got from them.
