Recommend good body shop in SoCal
Hey guys, something randomly ran into my front bumper as I was driving on the freeway, I tried to swerve to miss it, but it happened too fast. Well long story short, I need to get my bumper repainted because of some really deep scrathces. No dents or anything just some scratches on the bottom of the bumper. Can anyone recommend a good quality body shop in Socal that can color match really well?
Thanks!!

If it's just on the bottom and it's not noticeable I would just leave it alone.
If you still want to get it repaired I would recommend either DTM Autobody 2501 Tyler Avenue El Monte, CA 91733 (626) 448-0903 or My buddies shop that's run by his family: Mardikian Automotive Center (310) 978-1444 4925 Marine Ave, Lawndale, CA 90260 |

It's not on the bottom of the bumper like under, but just the bottom portion of the bumper, I'll post some pics.

I will tell you where NOT to go, Just to save you and anybody reading from any nightmare expierience..
Do not leave your car with RAW (REAL AUTO WORKS). RAW ::: AUTOMOTIVE HIGH PERFORMANCE, ENGINE, SUSPENSION, TUNING. They absolutely destroyed our brand new Z. They had my 370z for about 9 months and I finally got the car back with un prepped chipping paint, bad fitting bumpers, tons of missing clips, missing gaskets, missing seals for windows, missing OEM parts, missing aftermarket parts I gave them to install, and I can keep going on and on but I will keep it short. We pretty much had to re-do everything on the car inside and out just fix what they damaged. What me and Ryan did in 1 month with the car in house, was 100 times better then what they did in 9 months. I have kept my mouth shut with them because I am not one to talk trash online, but just to protect our 370z community, I will give my 2 cents. |
