Well we just need a place for this coming weekend. Saturday, November 22nd we will be having a driving event starting late at night; something like 10:30 (just for you Henry!) and so won't need a place to eat.

in the neighborhod, i've had my beamer fixed at marcos auto body on las tunas before. and, i thought the work was very good. they are kinda expensive, but they are the preferred shop for new century bmw i guess... nowadays, for the beamer, i just go to seidners collision across from alhambra mazda. their work is good, but not great. my car is old, so i'm not as picky. i probably wouldn't take the 8 there if i needed body work, tho. but, i'm not totally sure.

if you're willing to travel a bit further, my friend had his FD repainted at a shop in whittier called eckles auto body... and, they did a fantastic job. i never actually had any of my cars fixed there, but i went over there to take a tour a few years ago- cuz they are owned by my friend's neighbor. and, their facility is one of the cleanest and nicest i've ever seen. all their equipment is brand new... they are a bit pricey tho- cuz they don't cut any corners and tell u that up front. it is a good 25 minute drive though.

Eckles Auto Body
owner: Carlos Sacchetto, wife: Maria, son: Mike (they all seem to work there)
work 562-692-8300
11630 Whittier Blvd.
Whittier CA ZIP90601

hope this info helps. but, u should be able to find something closer i'm guessing if everyone sounds in.

actually, leon, u should call Rusnak Mercedes in Pasadena and find out who their body shop is. i am willing to bet that whichever shop they use is top notch. they seem like a very high-end place and any shop they use would probably kick ***.

Ask the Porsche dealers. Always ask the dealers that have the most **** customers where they get their work done.

the siedner's across the street from that high school on rosemead?... is really good.

had my old vehicle fixed on a claim... expensive, but the job was done right and very top notch. even on a car i didn't care too much about, it was done right and complimented with a bottle of touch up paint.

the quality is there, so the choice is up to you.

I like to recommend Marco's auto body to anyone who is going through insurance. They are really expensive but the quality and professionalism is unbeatable. They prefer to replace rather than repair and I believe they don't deal with aftermarket parts.

BTW anyone interested in CF parts for super cheap? (seibon/vis)

There is a reason why I didn't because you can't see it




can't really see, and that line is reflection
