Sorry if this is a repost

I recently purchased an M-tec front bumper and I wanted to get it painted as close as possible to the OEM color paint. So I decided to go with JMK BMW collision. Before I do so I just wanted to know if there is anyone here who has gone, and what was your input/experience with the work that was performed.

I had an OEM hood replaced by them and they did great work. I would recommend them, but I hear that MAC is preferred by most on here as the place to go.

I'd also recommend Impressive Auto (sponsor here) -- had my trim painted by them and their work was great as well. Both Mac and Impressive have threads here w/pics to help you make your decision.

thanks, and i would take it to MAC but its a bit of a drive and i don't have much time on my hands to take that drive.

MAC > Impressive...

MAC is never too far if you want work done the RIGHT way...

Antonio91 · 03-22-2011, 05:38 PM

You have a point there i might just end up going to Impressive Auto though

JMK use to be a good bodyshop when it was managed by Tommy G. Now, it sucks! lol!

I say take it to MAC!!! They do the best job of matching factory paint, I've ever seen.

Bimmer335i07 thanks, that makes me not wanna go to JMK at all

Craig@SupremePower · 03-22-2011, 11:28 PM

MAC FTMFW!! ... i've heard that JMK's bodyshop has slipped as well!

PandaBear · 03-22-2011, 11:50 PM

iif you're going to make the trip out to NY, you might as well travel to MAC. MAC takes the best possible care of your car, they paint it with love and give it a bath like a baby in the sink, caressing it like no other automobile facility on the face of this planet.

+1 Tommy used to be the man over at JMK. When he left, the place went downhill.

I just had MAC do my whole front end. Paint was on point.
