Body Shop Recommendation Needed

[hj16]

Yeah... after 5.5 years the collection of occasional dings, scratches and scuffs has amassed to the point where shame is settling in.

Here is what Im looking at:

1. New Front Bumper sprayed and installed, or Original one massaged... stripped and sprayed.
2. New Pass. SideSkirt sprayed and installed (I think a few MSC guys remember that one)
3. Rear Bumper massaged... hopefully no new paint needed, but its possible
4. 2 quarter sized dings
5. And maybe while Im at it have the door bezels sprayed to match


Anyone have any places they have had good experiences with? or have heard good things about? Any estimations on how much $$$ I'd be looking at for all this stuff (minus the new parts of course) so I don't get stiffed?

Thanks Everybody

I don't know where you live but. White Eagle in Naperville does good work.

Im pretty much in the same boat as you. If I ever get around to calling this one shop I'll let you know. I'd like my front bumper redone along with the side skirts.

Royal Coach in Bartlett. Maybe not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

Goldie's Autobody, owner is a mustang fanatic and extreme detail guy. Don't know how cheap they'd be but would be great work. He's painted parts for my car(hard color to match, pacific green) and Sutton's race car. Both came out very well.

Locations don't really matter, I just want it done right.

Have any of you had personal experience at these places? Any examples of the type of work done? their time frames, color matching?

I had asked this same questions just a couple months ago when my Civic go hit. A few people said Royal Coach in Bartlett. I think even someone on here, their dad either owns it or works there. My boss also suggested it to me as they did hail damage work for him.

I can tell you were NOT to go. It is where I took my Civic. I still get mad when I think about it even today. I had an endless list of problems, some of which were fixed and some of which I am going to live with. That said, DO NOT GO TO JULIANS IN ST. CHARLES. I don't know what happened cause I have seen work they have done, and it was impressive (the SN-65 Mustang), but they just did one shit ass job on my Civic.

These guys don't mess around they took care of the left quarter panel that got hit by some chick that backed into my mom's 98 SHO. We also had the right quarter panel rust taken care of. Amazing work and they stand behind it.

Hank, If you want to PM Venomblue22

His dad owns Royal Coach in Bartlett. I know Darrin (cdh027) and Ray (Painter) both have had work done there and turned out awesome.

I have also seen Todd's car (01sleeper) and Chris's (Whitesuperstang) car many times and I believe they have their work done at Peterson's. Both cars look great as well.

i work at a body shop but if i was going to have work done to my ride, id want to take it to royal coach.

 

[hj16]

Hmm, guess I'll have to look into Royal Coach.

For the dents.....call 708-824-1747. Ask for Kelly Winston. ONLY guy I would use for dent removal. If you cant get him there, call me I have his cell.

For the paint work check out Mallaneys. 815-468-8873. I have seen many cars done there, including 2 of mine, and they all turned out perfect.
