'04 Mars Red C230K Sport Coupe (not Coup-EH)
We got my dad's car repaired (an '88 300CE) after an accident at a body shop right across from the Enterprise Rent-a-car location in San Rafael right down the road from RAB Motors, the local MB dealer. It's a small body shop, but they did pretty good work. It's hard to match 17-year faded paint but they did a decent job. What really impressed me was their body work; the car had been hit from behind and the bottom lip where the trunk meets the body was knocked in pretty far. You can't even tell that it was cut away and a new piece welded in. Pretty impressive, but I'm not an expert; maybe body shops do this sort of thing easily. However, considering the number of used cars I've looked at to buy where the hood meets at a point with the front fenders...well....yeah.

Hey what's up Ace it's Rickey. Hey man you should go back to Apex and pay him for the work he's done for you before looking for another shop. That's not cool homie. Give him a call to arrange when you can pay him.
