Put a huge Sticky on this . About time someone made one of these! :thumbsup:

[AllGoNoShow]

Yah it was driving me off the wall aswell.

[AllGoNoShow]

I mean thanks for the tip about wally, but this is a GENERAL thread, not another me needing bodyshop, this is to prevent those threads from coming up.

[AllGoNoShow]

bumpity to keep from new posts.

Changed a few things on the list aswell.

[88CRX]

i was going to make the exact same post today lol

should be stickied.... i've never see it

[AllGoNoShow]

;)

[civicrider]

just to add for myself i do parts ie bumers, fenders, hoods, basicaly anything you can take off the car, i will do compleate but my prices are more then macco because i wont spray crap and i do good prep work, anyone interested you can pm me and i have people who can vouch for my work

[AllGoNoShow]

Updated with that info.

[GT-FOUR]

Just a suggestion, but it might be a good addition to this thread to have pictures of cars that have had work done by the above shops and individuals. Even in process pictures, to show what kind of work the shop will put into a car.

That might help with repetitive posts, because really, this is only marginally more helpful than the yellow pages as it sits.

imho of course ;)

theres one bumper i did for a guy on beyond, also did some work for spec.

[AllGoNoShow]

GT-FOUR good suggestion but this thread is for information of Bodyshops, not all shops will have pictures to proove their work is better, then people will be wanting estimates from this post, and everyone elses opinion, and it will be too large to keep to just information sizes, I can link off like I'm about to do for civicrider, but that will be it as it will be too hard to control and update with EVERYONEs projects and information, if you get what I am saying



Updated, new shop and civicriders pictures.

[AllGoNoShow]

EDITED

;)

[AllGoNoShow]

Took on GT's suggestion, went hunting for the pictures I know are out there and I have all the ones I know of, now I need user input to help build the collection.

[euro_racer]

do you also know the prices?

[AllGoNoShow]

Prices change between anyones car, colour amount of work.

For example, Mikes mustang and DS Auto was $4600 he said if I remeber right, I could take my buddys mustang and it might be $300 for the same colour, or it could be $8000, all depends. Thats why there is #'s anmd Address', you drive and call and check them out, and they give you a personal quote. I know Mr. Touchup even comes out to you if needed.

2004 and already paintwork? Are you a careless driver? Or have you been unfortunated enough to be hit by one of the city's many careless drivers?

[JAYMEZ]

^^ Nope , i let centaur subaru drive my car LOL .. And its a new GReddy front end :D

[88CRX]

nationals is current fixing some of there half assed work that they did to mine last week.... i'm getting it back on monday.... i'll have pics and some details as to how well they can fix their problems.

[mac_82]

wow i thought nationals was a pretty reputable place to get work done, i was thinking of taking my new car there to get the sideskirts painted. i have heard really good things about them from a couple of people. what happened?

[JAYMEZ]

No shop is perfect at all , i would recommend takeing your side skirts there , they are fiber glass gurus.

fiber glass gurus.... nope.

thats what they warped the shit outta and fucked up, my fiberglass grill.... they told me they can only get fiberglass to 80% thats all..... 80% of perfect.

plus they melted my bumper AND the paint isnt a perfect match.

[AllGoNoShow]

Better then overspray all over the engine bay, wheels wells, on the seats, shitty preping or no prepping, spotting, running. Which is why one of the shops was removed.

Even AFTER he took it back to get everythign FIXED, its still the same, a little better but not much.

Mind PM'ing me about this then? That list took a while, a moderator stickied it, which I assumed it was then approved to be ok, its been up for god knows how long, and now its all of the sudden gone?

[Team_Mclaren]

It was my bad, Sorry. I never really thought about it till it was mentioned to me that contact infos should NOT be included.

[AllGoNoShow]

Well it wasn't just you, another mod did the second one, cause I pointed it out to him cause he was interested in it and said sure go for it....

[2000_SI]

Rage2, what about just a list of shop names, along with peoples experiences with them?
No contact information and such, but just make it a thread where someone can go to and see peoples experiences with shops, and see what shops are recomended by people, and the such...

A-1 Autobody did my GF"s Ford Focus after it was t-boned and it came back looking like it came off the showroom floor. Absolutely flawless.
