Good body shop in Vanc/Richmond/Burnaby?

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a good body shop to fix a dent somebody put in my driver-side door over the weekend. I've got pics in this thread..

I went to the shop next to Wolfe Mazda on Boundary and 1st this morning, and the guy explained that he'd need to punch out the dent, then repaint the door AS WELL AS the rear door. He said that unless the rear door was repainted as well, the paint wouldn't match.

I don't have much knowledge about car paints etc, but I'd prefer not to have the rear door repainted if possible. Do you guys know/have had a good experience with a body shop in Vancouver/Richmond/Burnaby for a paint job? Preferably somewhere that specializes on Mazdas.

Thanks!

They will blend the rear door and probably the front fender as well if they have to paint the whole door. If you don;t the paint won;t match. It's difficult with metalic paint to get it to lay down the same as the OEM paint...and it will look different, even if it is a perfect match......so they blend it into the old paint to hide it
