GRRRRRRR Need a good body shop.

DJKhan85 · 02-18-2010, 09:48 AM

Lady rolled into me this morning while I was stopped.......

Time to grab a new bumper. Should I just get the regular OEM bumper or spend the extra 250 for the mtech?

Anyone know some good body shops in boston that I can get a new bumper and get it painted?

dxb335d · 02-18-2010, 09:49 AM

Is it called M tech in the USA? Called M sport in Old england.

Ugh, that sucks man. Sorry to hear.

I've had several good experiences at All Wheels in Beverly. Ron and his guys specialize in BMW and do great work. They were reccomended to me by BMW Peabody years ago and they have treated me well ever since.

leemik · 02-18-2010, 10:44 AM

sorry to hear... but definately upgrade!

Derek Zoolander · 02-18-2010, 11:04 AM

Front or rear? Sucks dude. Insurance covering it?

ibeclueless · 02-18-2010, 12:00 PM

sorry to hear, you should upgrade to a nicer bumper

iceberq · 02-18-2010, 12:08 PM

Get M-Tech front. Call for Phil Sansossio Jr 508-655-9646

Munroe Auto Body in Watertown, MA is where I take my car and my gf's car when needed. Peter runs the place and is an honest guy.

DJKhan85 · 02-18-2010, 12:52 PM

Thanks for the responses. It is my rear bumper that got hit. I think I'll go Mtech rear. I like that way the diffuser looks. I just wish I didn't have to put up with the hassle. Mtech rear and longtran m3 rocker panels maybe. Then I will just need a lip or new bumper. This just turned into an expensive accident lol.

jopa489 · 02-18-2010, 01:00 PM

Mtech rear will look great with your M3 spolier too.

DJKhan85 · 02-18-2010, 01:52 PM

Just called Phil since I'm close(in waltham) and he might be able to fix it without having to replace the bumper.

If not, then Mtech rear it is.

iceberq · 02-18-2010, 11:43 PM

Glad you took my recommendation! When are you going in? I'm going to his shop tomorrow to help my friend pick up his CL500 and dropping off my car sometime in the future for some paint work

cyphr · 02-19-2010, 01:18 AM

Phil's awesome to work with, you won't be disappointed

blueaudi18 · 02-19-2010, 04:29 PM

its a new car.. get a brand new bumper man. no bondo stuff. The insurance is taking care of it right?

DJKhan85 · 02-19-2010, 09:43 PM

I went and got a quote on Thursday evening after work. Got my insurance money now and just need to make a decision on what I want to do.

Yeah Insurance is paying for it.

TL · 02-19-2010, 11:45 PM

sorry to hear about the bumper but good thing insurance is covering the cost. if you plan to keep the car then get a new bumper if not then just have the body shop fix it with bondo
