Earl Scheib and Maaco are both top notch quality shops.

Hung Luu Autobody, Irwindale
Did my rx2 (metal only repair) and mostly does vintage Porsches (did my dad's 356)...he can basically do anything. Only uses PPG or Glassuit paint.

+1, if you have the budget, 20/20 is known to be one of the best place to go.. they used to offer lifetime free repaint.. but i don't know if they do that anymore

Get a life fool. You obviously haven't caught up w/ the laid-back atmosphere the west section's got.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong. Weren't you the same girl that asked me for some advice and told me how you got your CYM FD from your pops and drove all the way from Central Cal to pick it up. What a nice dad.

what the **** ... none of that is correct... my pops never owned this car i am the third owner of this car and sole driver of it from the time i obtained it in 2005. he doesnt even know how to drive stick how would he drive it from central cal??? and since when did my car come from central cal??? its from texas dipshit and i never even told you this, i can tell you're pulling stuff out of your ***. again no luck is wrong wrong and WRONG

you're further proving my point that you dont know ****, and you're further providing NOTHING HELPFUL to my thread. i dont know why you're even still here posting?? im on this forum posting to get helpful information from competent members, you on the other hand are going through threads being a moron and doing nothing productive at all no luck. i believe you are the one that needs to get a life.

ive heard good things about m1 but ive personally only looked at the work of one car that theyve ever painted, so not much for me to form an opinion on.

a friend had his car repaired there for a fender bender as well, they were not mechanically minded enough and put together his car back all wrong (loosened his boost belt on his jrsc, put his alternator on backwards, left his exhaust dangling on 1 of 3 rubber hooks), but body work he said they were decent... =/
