Ouch!!

I hate parking lots! Came out of the Plano DMV after getting my registration sticker and found this - and of course no note...



Anyone know of a good reasonable inexpensive body shop around Plano?

I'd look into a mobile Paintless Dent removal guy.

It's a crease and they'll charge you quite a bit... but it'll still be cheaper than paint.

That totally sucks!! Morons.

If you decide to go the body shop route, let me know. I'll send you the info on the shop that put my 8 back together. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Took it to two paintless dent places both said it could be done but would probably look like cottage cheese....so going with the body shop.
Got estimate from Herb's and one from Ed's paint and body in Allen (guy at Dent Tech referred me) $1,050 and $900 respectively. Leaning toward's Herb's at higher price just to make sure it gets done right. "Ed" already told me he not be able to match the paint exactly...

Joe, what is your recommended shop? Might run it over there and get a quick estimate from them too. Like I said I just want it done right.

Collision Center Paint & Body.

It's in Rowlett, but honestly, theres no one better. The address is 2100 Lakeview Pkwy 75088.

Ask for Ramon Barrera @ 972.475.7113. They are great people and do excellent work. They matched my Nordic Green Mica paint to perfection.

They're open from 8-6 M-F. You saw how open they were with having me in their shop taking progress pictures!
