need a recommendation for bodyshop in socal

Hi all, im looking for a good bodyshop in socal area. i'd like to respray my whole bumper.

I've been to a few workshops so far, but only beverly coach craft seems to do a good job, but theyre pretty expensive.

would appreciate if anyone could give some recommendations!

BCC did the rear bumper and blended the trunk lid on my M5. I give that job 98/100 but I agree about the pricing...I call it high but not unreasonable.

thanks for the suggestion! i did my hood with the dealer i bought my car from, and that was a terrible experience. had to send it back in 3 times before they got it right. Even then, the corners of my hood was still done incorrectly. i gave up in the end.

anyway, were there any fish eyes or inclusions after the job was done?

I'm taking the C63 to C&C Collision (Alhambra) in Dec. for front to back R&R…4 years worth of little stuff and both bumper covers are coming off as well as the hood. C&C has done a lot of the modded M cars around here.

You'll talk to Nate or Rett.

They did really good job no fish eye or inclusions. Since my car is 3-stage paint it was hard for them to match the rear bumper with other body panels from the first time so they repainted the bumper again I would give it 9/10 now. I was referred by a close friend who has a Corvette in Jetsteam blue metallic paint he got his front bumper and two side fenders repainted from some rock chips you can't tell it was painted they got it %99

It depends on your car color usually non-metallic color are easier to get them matched then metallic or 3 stage . %80 of the body shops will tell you that they can match everything in world lol
