Good body shop in Chicago
Folks,
I need a good body shop or an independent painter that can help me out. I just came back from the BMW dealer and they are asking for $1300.00 and 4 days to keep my car for this little damage on the clear coat: Without flash: With flash: They are saying they need to take the two passenger doors out, sand them down and paint both doors. I am REALLY not liking this... Any suggestions? |

Johan,
That would be awesome. I am not stingy when it comes to quality work, but the back home in Bulgaria, for $1300.00, I can get 5 cars painted by a private painter and probably get a blowjob from the painter's daughter. LOL |
