A good friend of mine just got rear-ended today and pushed into another car. Her car is pretty smashed. It's not an RX (it's a 2005 accord) but I figured you guys might have a good body shop you can recommend. She lives in Long Beach so anything in the South Bay, or even OC would be fine.

I've tried like 3 different collision centers with my own cars and have yet to have one do a perfect job. There always seems to be issues with the paint. One didn't blend the paint from the door to the fender so you could tell that they were two different colors! Another shop left a bunch of swirl marks, and the other orange peel and drips. These were all shops recommended by the insurance.

So anyways, can someone recommend a shop that you have actually had an experiance with?

Thanks alot
John

 

if its insured, take it to the dealer.

 

Heres a shop in long beach i forgot what its called but its on Anaheim and Gladys ave.

 

our dealer uses Bay Cities Auto Body. They do really good on stock cars just pricey. But the insurance should cover it. in carson

 

Thanks for the responses. Looks like the insurance might total the car but I'll keep these ideas in mind just incase. We should find out this week.

 

i have a guy that would probably do cheaper than most other shops, plus he's really good with body work and painting. I have a thread up here about my accident with my rx7 and he made it seem like nothing had ever happened. Let me know if your interested.

 

it all depends on the damage. if you can get picks i can show it to him or we can come take a look at it
