Cool heads up on a good body shop in Long Beach

I'm up from the Bay area, and my best friend moved down to Long Beach to run a family body shop. trying to help him with some referrals. I've seen the work done at the shop, and it's very good quality.

they do it all. body repair, frame, chassis, paint, whatever you need done

Fast Lane Collision Center
1381 Obispo Ave
Long Beach, CA 90804
(562) 961-1000

My Friends name is Kevin Kumtong
just tell him you're an i-clubber

Thanks!

well... i can quote you what my guy charges..

depending on how much units of pait you need.

labor is $85 pr/hr
spray same ****...
fit same ****
paint hmmm

prepwork if the surface is not smooth or if it requires more primer $20.00
flex agent depending on units of paint..

typically to respray a bumper for japanese car met paint $400.00 thats with a sand and prep work
german cars $600.00 cause paint is more unless you want to go with the cheap stuff and just color match then it's $400.00

so for your 4pc lip kit i say 200? or 300? if you have a picture i can call him and get an exact price.

turn around time..
how fast you want it? typically 2 day turn around for paint and prep work on simple things.

Oh and my guy is in HB.
