Car in an Accident: Body Shop Recommendations for Pasadena Area

Stinger · 07-03-2012, 10:25 AM

Had someone hit my 335i convertible and looking for recommendations on a quality body shop in the Pasadena area.

Thanks for any help.

i haven't used anyone in pasadena yet, but in Glendale, Glendale Auto Body did good work for me, ask for Mark

Marcos' Collision Center in Monterey Park ask for Allan

Stinger · 07-03-2012, 02:38 PM

LTBMW. They truly know BMW 3-series vehicles from the inside, out. I just received my car back after going thru a hit and run incident. My car came out phenomenal with an mtech rear bumper as well.

There is also two Marco's in Pasadena. Same chain.

Marco's on Fair Oaks did an awesome job on my black 335.
For $150 out of my pocket they added the M-Tech bumper and diffuser I wanted to replace my damaged stock standard bumper. Work was perfect and I'd recommend them to anyone.
don't know about the pricing as I was rear ended while not moving so other insurance took care of everything except the extra I paid to get the bumper I wanted.

Thanks for all the input. very helpful.

LTBMW is a full on body shop now? or they contract out to someone?

e90328i · 07-10-2012, 05:45 PM

if your trying to go cheap and get mtech with insurance money I would order parts and have them installed and painted at Heart Autobody in Reseda they did a great job with repainting and fixing panels on my car along with painting my m3 rep... There a hole in the wall and a lil sketchy but they are honest to there work and do a great job for the price!

Where ever u take it just make sure they have a BMW certified e93 technician. If u need a 1/4 panel replacement the top has to come out. and trust me u want some one who's taken out a few to work on Ur car !

bmwtechray · 07-13-2012, 01:09 AM

No one goes the the certified centers like sterling collision or McKenna Collision (european collision)??
