Rear ended... body shop recommendation?

My WRX got rear ended. Any body shop recommendation? Preferably in North SJ, Santa Clara, Milpitas, or South Fremont area..

I think Kreative Kustoms are gone?

Thanks!

I've really liked the work done at The Works Auto Body in Santa Clara.

as with every body shop recommendation thread that pops up, id recommend apex auto body in dtown san jose. they've done all my body work on my sti and im very happy with the quality. ive gone there for almost everything.

other i clubbers have also gone to them and they're quite happy with the quality.

ask for Paul and he will take care of you and youre more then welcome to check out my car to see the work done on it.

Hey sorry to hear about your car. I highly recommend Apex Auto Body in downtown san jose on phelan ave..

Check em out:
Apex Auto Body

Read their reviews.. I promise you, you won't regret checking them out.

If you want to check out their work in person, let me know.

They have done all body work on my car if you want to see for yourself.

I also had A.V.E.'s rear bumper, side skirts, side strakes, and rear aprons done recently for his bday if you want to check it out. It's still freshly painted 10/03/09.

If you want to check out even more recent work, I just had airon'03's and sammae01's (members here) parts painted and from what they're telling me, they're very happy with the work.

And I also just referred other members, wrx_mg and raklyiz who just got into accidents as well.. I believe both went there to get work done last I spoke to Paul.

Here's the thread wrx_mg made:

Here's the thread raklyiz made:
https://www.i-club.com/forums/bay-area-15/good-body-paint-shop-211853/


Definitely go speak with Paul in person, not over the phone. You'll get a better estimate that way. If you have any questions or want to see his work, just let me know!

I am nearly fanatical about body work (I actually annoy myself sometimes) and the work from The Works has seriously impressed me. I have seen a dark silver 550 Maranello, my friend's silver Z06, and a one off carbon fiber Dinan BMW 850 coupe they have done work on - all top notch. I am not saying there are not great shops out there, only that this is the only one I have seen *perfect* work come out of. I see things in paint and body work that most people usually don't though...

I just got my WRX rear ended a month and a half ago, and went to Yeaman. Fantastic work, and quick service.

This is the second time I have had work done there, as well as some of my friends.

Thanks for all the recommendations! Now the choice is even harder =)

For some reason EMC in Fremont has a lot of bad reviews here. But in the clublexus forum, people rave about them. Weird.

One thing I know is that I won't go to Geico's recommended shops!

Sorry Bryan,
I can't say I would recommend Yeaman. When I had work done there It was not so good. the work was not so great. When i got there to pick up I was not happy......
