ANybody been to Santa Clara Auto Body?

I have a connection there and am going to be heading up to get an estimate on painting my Morettes and fixing a dent/scratch on my rear 1/4 panel. Has anyone ever been there and have any input on their quality of work and color matching? TIA

I had a few parts sprayed by them for the WRX, off the car (so masking wasn't an issue) : rear bumper cover, foglight covers, STI grille (for bugeyes).

They did a decent job. Not especially memorable, either good or bad. Price was pretty good, but then they didn't have to do ANY prep work

hmm...well I'll be heading up there monday or wednesday (gotta hit up suby dude too..so I might as well get an estimate). I've known the daughter of the owners for a while so hopefully she can put in a "hey, do a good job on his car and down screw him with the prices" word for me :banana:

Well the only reason I was heading up to the SJ area is because of my friends family's shop. Otherwise I'll find somewhere decent to get it done down here
