Paint Shop?
I know of a few but I'd like some trusted names.
My car and the damage....
2004 White wrx wagon.
glass exploded onto my car. little holes on the rear passenger door. quarter panel. Small one on the bumper. 3 small ones on the roof rail. A couple on the roof...that's all I've seen so far...car kinda dirty.
The guys insurance told me to research a shop and they'll take care of it.
Still waiting on the final go ahead so I need to get some quotes in the mean time.
So I don't really know what to do. I mean it's a brand new car so I don't want a crappy paint job and don't want patch work done. I don't want to be able to tell there is any damage on my car. The little holes are all down through the paint..y you can see metal.
I'm guessing they'll try to patch and feather type a deal but I don't want that? But I also don't want half my car one shade of white and the other stock white?
You guys know anything about this?

I got my side skirts done by them too. Nice job but I don't know if I trust them with my whole car...I have a drip on my side skirt as it is.
I won't put up with drips on my body panels.

I've got one person lined up to look at it but they are in santa cruz and they would spot paint it.
So nobody has the info for a really good body shop? Fremont/milpitas?
I need to get on this this week so any help?

fryrice...I have to admit...you got me convinced...I'll be paying them a visit as one of my quotes. that looks good.
How is the paint looking so far? match up good. bubbles drips? Did they even do the paint or did they just order the parts from the factory painted?
either way...looks great.

Still looks perfect, i see no imperfection at all (unlike my previous shop). i can't even tell it got in to a accident.
I pay 1700 plus a new windshield (got cracks :/) no parts though. I order it myself and had it ship to them. They painted my bumper,fender,redone 1 sideskirt and bend my radiator support. George also offer me a free detail after 60 days. :banana:
