A GOOD body shop?

[rencho75]

Can anyone recommend a GOOD body shop that can color match my car? Hopefully I can get in and out of the shop before June 22nd.

"Good" body shops seem to be hard to find for some reason. There is a place in Blue Mound, I think it`s called Blue Mound Auto. It`s on Blue Mound Road (156) just north of 820. The place looks kind of ran down but they have a body shop in the back. There is a mega rich guy in Dallas who buys a lot of older muscle cars and brings them all the way to this guy to do his body work. I have seen a couple of cars he has worked on and I can say he does great work.

I`m not sure what his backlog is like or what his turn around time would be but I know the next time that I need body work this is the guy that will do it for me. You might try to look it up and see what he says.

I`m sorry to hear about your car being sandwiched. Good luck to you on getting it fixed up quickly.

I will be taking my Charger to them Brian, but I want to make sure they don't rush it. When I got rear ended, the trunk was out of alignment but when I got home and looked over it, passenger rear quarter panel buckled from the impact. Driver side rear door is sticking out and out of alignment as well as the rear passenger side door. Basically the rear has serious body damage and the front bumper only needs to be replaced.

I would have had no qualms going to Advantage when I got hit, but I did the WRONG thing (when I say WRONG I mean I didn't want to take the time) and just dropped the car off at Herb's in Frisco since there was no adjuster needed to do so. I'm 98% satisfied with the work Herb's did (have to fix one thing, really minor and not cosmetic) but if I'd not gotten impatient I would have ended up there.

Good luck with getting her fixed, man. I smell a SRT bumper opportunity...

Haven't made that phone call yet Rob. But I'm really looking in to getting a different front fascia. Still waiting for the insurance company to call me.

That is one thing they DO NOT DO is rush a job. They have a very nice shop and enough crew that do a great job. Todd one of the owners is always working on the cars himself so its done right. When you tell them you are a client of mine they will take care of you and trust me when I say I have some anal clients esp the lambo and ferrari owners, and I have never had them upset at the quality of work they produce.

They also do insurance just drop off the car and they will handle everything, and let them know you want to go with a different bumper and they will make it work so you don't have to pay a dime!!

Cant wait to see the changes that come with the repairs Tony. I think you should get a "Grip" if you know what I mean, lol.

They know you are coming and what you are wanting to do. Just contact Chris when you show up and let him know your the vehicle that Brian was talking about. =)
