JJ Kustoms 630-338-9410 he just got a nice paint bay out in aurora, about a 25 minute drive. Good work, great prices, cool dude. If you do give him a call, tell him Jared recommended him.

Depending on how bad it is, you may be able to fix it yourself. I was backing out of the garage in the Lumina way back in the day, and scraped the side of our old Astro. No body damage, except for some paint transfer on both cars. I used some rubbing compound on both and it took care of it.

Why dont they shop around at a few and compare prices?? I dont think it matters where you go, if they think you have no sense they will see you coming a mile away regardless of the shop if they think they can get more out of you.

The actual car dealers bodyshops use are normally the best

There is so much that doesn't make sense in this that it hurts my head to reply

It's not hard to figure out. OP has 2 cars with body damage, he's asking here who knows of a good place that won't charge an arm and a leg....

Blown 346 is basically saying to make sure you shop around, and to know what you want to do with the car so a body shop doesn't look at you like you're a n00b and take advantage of you.

:dunno:

Exactly. If shops know you dont have the slightest clue they will rake you over the coals regardless of where you go.

As I have posted 4,595 times, go to kdx up by me. Best work you will get done for the money. He painted my car and it's incredible.

I was referring to dealership body shops being "the best". :rofl: that could be true but not in every case by a long shot. Not even in the realm of making sense let alone being something that can be said like that.

Additionally, what shop you go to really does matter, especially for something as serious as a quarter panel replacement.
