Contemporary Coachworks - any recent reviews?

[shadezofgrey]

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone has recently had any bodywork done at Contemporary Coachworks? I did a quick search and found the newest thread on the company to date back to 2006, so not sure how valid those reviews are today. Reason I ask is my car's all nice and crater faced after the recent hailstorm and my insurance company has sent me off to get an estimate done by them.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Probably one of the top quality shops in Calgary. Also see Screamin' Paintworks.

Pretty sure Rage's M3 was done in '08 wasn't it? I think the thread is called "Fuck Chinese Women" or something to that effect.

Agree with Jaymez. I've taken a few cars there too, excellent work. I'll be taking my SUV there soon also.

Just got my car back last week from them. The south location, great service, and they did a great job on my car as well!! Replaced my driver side quarter panel....cant even tell.

Highly reccomend!

Yeah, they have two locations. I have my car done there at the newer location in the South, they do very nice work!!

me and my buddy both had our cars done at contemporary (NE location).

My buddy's experience: poor glue work on installing hood causing windsheild spray to not spray. Front end repair went terribly wrong somehow causing headlights to be uneven. as for the paint, it peeled twice. They had to respray the bumper twice.

My experience: I had crappy service for one, and il get the link up of my post about them before. They broke my PASSENGER side sunvisor and wouldnt stand up for it. My repairs were over 2500 bucks, and the shop guy says im lying. Do i really need to scam them over a 80 dollar piece? After a talk with the manager they agreed to replace it for me, but shop guy was still giving me terrible attitude.

overall, would not recommend them. They are more expensive than average shops, but they dont live up to the price.

I think they are one of the best in town. Went there three times over the past few years and each time, I couldn't even tell there was any paintwork done at all.

Contemporary Coachworks South Great work!

North I can't speak for but the south store does awesome work.

Tomco PDR is at the south location for a limited engagement as well

Our car is booked in with Tomco there next week to fix the hail damage.

The south one used to be good when i brought my car to them last year. They now have a new manager... kind of a dick if you ask me.

Long story short, i got rear-ended and other party's insurance is paying for it, the manager doesn't think its their fault, and told the other party to have another appraiser go look at the damage.

its now taking a lot longer than expected, in the end, i'm not taking it back to Contemporary to do the work. Their loss.

They do really good work, but you have to be careful and make sure you take pictures yourself of your car before you bring it in. When I went there were door dings and they said they didn't do it, and my boyfriend brought his car there too and he had them as well.

Wait.

So you're saying that you (Person A) got rear-ended (by Person B). Person B's insurance was paying and you took it to Contemporary Coachworks. The manager there (Person C) didn't think the collision was Person B's fault so he told the insurance company to have an appraiser come look and re-assess the fault?
