    Default Low Cost Autobody

    Has anyone had any work done by Low Cost Autobody? I need to get some minor work done on my vehicle (I'm not paying for it). One estimate is from Screamin Paintworks and the other is from Low Cost and true to the name the estimate from Low Cost is well lower than Screamin'. Heard good things about Screamin Paintworks and Dan though.

    I had a car repaired there a long time ago. At the time they were very nice to deal with (it was family run at the time) and they did a good job, but times change so it'd be hard to say what it's like now.

    Calgary is so much like an iphone: iCalgary - There's a bylaw for that.

    LowCost is the only place I ever take my cars. They have always been great.

    I had some work done by them over 5 years ago. Things worked out great. They were also the shop that bought a written off Ferrari and repaired it. It was neat. It took over 9 months. There are pictures of it in the office.

    Screaming does some really good work though. Dan is a good guy to deal with.

    dude, you can refill spoiler holes yourself. its the paint part you need help with. if you wanna do it the easy way, buy some bondo and fill them in and sand them. then take it to get painted. if you wanna do it the right way, weld in a piece of steel in the hole and fill the cracks and sand it then send it for paint. most likely if you send it somewhere theyll jsut fill it with bondo and charge you an arm and a leg for it.
