Only interested in places with a lifetime guarantee. Some dumb bitch ran into the M3 while it was parked and dented the door all to hell. Got her info, her insurance is paying so I don't give a damn how much it costs. The boy paints motorcycles, so he's really picky about the car and wants it to be done perfectly.

someone please give the body shops a heads up that a crazy bitch is on the way

No, this is my husband's car and he will be dealing with it. To me it's just a car, and I am NOT anal about cosmetics so he will be the one they will have to deal with. It will be a lot worse than dealing with me if they fuck it up. If they do good work they will get beer and lots of insurance money.

The problem is that he does auto paint but doesn't have a booth right now. He wants to find a place that'll do it as good as the BMW factory (which is what he would do) and most paint places just don't care enough to do it right the first time. It's also very possible this dumb bitch damaged a bunch of stuff inside the door she hit it so hard, so it's not a small dent they will be dealing with.

here is a pic of my car after the accident. it's not too bad, but you can see that part of the unibody got bent up. it came back perfect.

True2Form, they guarentee for life. If the paint looks different after a couple years they'll repaint it.

Sweet.

The woman who hit the car tried to get him to let her son repair it. She said he works at tire king. It's funny thinking about someone that can't even get a job at Maaco trying to paint my husband's car.

This same bitch ran into my car a month or so ago, but I didn't open the wrath of god upon her because there was no dent and just a scuff I thought would buff out. I should have made her so miserable she'd never want to drive her shitmobile in my neighborhood again.

Paragon on capitol has done some high end stuff, but never had them do anything to my cars.

I'm not gonna tell you shit. If one clip doesn't fit right you're going to sue the fuxk out someone.

I've seen a couple of cars that had paintwork at the True2Form in Holly Springs. The paint work looked top notch from what I could tell. They were absolutely retarded on fixing a rattling window caused in the accident though. It took probably 5 trips to them followed by a trip to the dealer (on their dime) before it was fixed. They even tried saying "it's just old and wore out" on a 2007 car with ~100k miles that didn't have a problem with any of the other windows rattling and didn't have the problem with this particular window before the accident.

True2Form is definitely hit or miss as far as quality but I guess most body shops are probably the same. i recommend foster's on capital. they do great work. however, when it comes to my shit it goes to thompson cadillac.

^^ Good to know... I have one week to get my Jeep's issue figured out (I was supposed to be moving to FL on Thursday) - and right now shop estimate doesn't include anything about the rear end wobble I told them about. Ugh- I absolutely despise dealers, though. Not looking forward to this process.
