SF Bay Area Body Shop Recommendation
 

Well, you know there isn't a happy ending w/a title like this!

I scraped my BIL's RX-8 coming out of the garage this morning. Does anyone have any recommendations for a body shop? I scraped the right headlight and the right front 1/4 panel.

His car is probably 8 years old, RX8 and more I do not know.

Any guidance would be most appreciated.

I've had good experience with Bob at Cambron. It's a small body shop but I think he does great work. I like his paint work, seems to match the factory paint perfectly. Haven't had my 8 there but the gf's 3 couple times.

Diablo Autobody in Pleasanton is amazing! If it's not to far, and price isn't an issue, they are truly one of the best in the Bay. They matched my front bumper perfect, and this was when my car was four years old already. With body work, cheaping out will really bite you in the ass hard later, so it's really important you get some one good to do it right the first time.

Also, I hear Michael J's Bodyshop in San Jose is really good too. Oaktree Mazda has their cars worked on there. I just chose Diablo because it was local, but there are plenty of other shops that should be as good. Check other car forums too because a lot of times people will rate their experiences with bodyshops.
