The next day after the accident I took the car in to the Boulder Tesla approved auto body shop. One month later I don’t have a repair date yet, not because of anything Tesla is not doing. I’m still on the waiting list to start the repair cycle at the shop. The parts have yet to be ordered. I honestly do not expect to have the car fixed until spring of 2019.
I think I need to check out other auto body shops. Do you have any recommendation for more expedient auto body shop from Fort Collins to Denver?

I had my S repaired at Stuttgart a few years ago after a very large chunk of wet snow fell off a highway sign and did about $11K of damage to the front of the car. I can't say I was all that impressed with Stuttgart, either in repair time or quality, but the paint job they did was a bit better than our 3's current paint. Both required some fairly significant paint correction.
I've heard stories of people/Tesla sending their cars to shops out of state to get faster repair times. Denver has a lot of Teslas and very few certified repair shops. If you can find a shop in a neighboring state, they might get it done quicker, but they also won't probably have had a lot of experience with Teslas.
Good luck, you'll need it.
The fact that the shop you took it to hasn't even ordered parts yet is reason enough to transfer it. They know how long it takes to get parts.
