Good Body guys

Lookin to get my FC painted with an extensive amount of body work that needs to be done. Does anyone know a good reputable body shop in the greater seattle Area? will go as far south as Tacoma or north as Everett. I would do body work myself, but i really dont have the time to spend to do body work. So help me figure out my options. Tell me your experiences, even bad ones. Preferably good ones.

Stage Auto Center all the way! They're in Kirkland by the Subaru dealer off of 116th. Bal does excellent body work and is a bit of a perfectionist. When my car was in an accident he ordered 4 bumpers before they sent one he would actually put on the car (the others were warped). Definitely the guys to see imo. Anything I can't do myself they take care of for me. Been workin with them for about 6 years now. Never had a bad experience

I recently had my paint done by a local shop called Juanita Auto Body in Kirkland. Their website: www.juanitaauto.com

They did a great job on my FD. They have before and after pics on their website and you are welcome to take a look at my paint job if you want a in person perspective. They make it look like new, imo

I know a good guy, he's had a paint booth in his garage, but he does a great job, and he changes less because he has no overhead, but he does take his time so if you are in a rush he might not be a best choice. PM me if you want his info.

Personally, I would recommend Huddlesons in White Center. They did an absolute fabulous job painting mine.
