Good bodyshop in SF?

Which bodyshop does the cleanest work in SF and always replace with OEM parts?

Thanks!

I've been in Riverside for school.
I was thinking about Sunny Auto Body, my friend had his Sileighty done there.

Yes! One of the hangers broke off so, I had to weld it back on. When I brought it SoCal, everyone went crazy over it. I'm still looking for another one in mint condition. Don't ask why.

Isn't WestWind owned by a Nissim?? Or is Angie related to him too?

I was one of WestWind's first modified import customers back when I had my first car, and they had their shop near PacBell Park. They used to do work for SF Ferrari....not sure if they do anymore though. I brought them A LOT of business from family and friends, but Nissim did me a little dirty on one job and treated my Dad AND Mom (and their cars) badly after that. Needless to say, I stopped sending people over to WestWind. I heard their work started falling off a lot after I left too.

yeah Nissam is part owner. Sorry to hear about your bad experience there, that doesnt sound like them but who knows...

Im not sure about the sf ferrari connection, i know they are still pretty involved in the high end car scene in sf though.

but still they've done good work for me and both of them are a lot of fun (and throw good parties!)

Thanks!
Using OEM parts or not actually depends more on your insurance company than the body shop.
