Houston TX Area Body Shop Needed

Driving on the highway today I had the fortune of being behind someone. With an unsecured piece of sheet metal. That ping-ponged off 4-5 oter cars before striking my passenger door. So now I am in need of a good shop that won't do a slutty job of matching my Velocity Red Mica. Any suggestions?

I had work done on my WRX at LMC in Spring.

They did great work.

My front end got repainted by Service King, and it Started chipping after 13 months!

Funny you said that I read it as I'm standing in the service king lobby. Guess I'll tell them nevermind. I had one estimate already by Munday Mazda collision.

Dude! I literally live 5 minutes way from there! Are you in the area as well?

I took her to LMC it's 5 minutes away, they gave me the best price and shortest turn time. I saw some of their work in the shop and it looked good. Plus he was able to squash my concerns with the color maching by describing to me the details about the PPG product they've been using for the last 4 years. I should have her back Monday. :-) thanks!

Sounds like there's at least three of us close by.

Finally got her back. I'd have to say LMC did the best paint work I've ever had done. I had to ask them where the blending took place. Other cars it's painfully obvious where they painted/blended. Thanks for the recommendation.
