Request LA area body shop recommendation
Long story short, I need to find a body shop in the Thousand Oaks or greater LA area that does OEM quality work. Price is a secondary concern.
Searching the forums revealed that Beverly Coach Craft was the most often recommended shop, with a bunch of others mentioned once or twice. The results I found were at least a few years old though. Looking to see if this is still my best bet to have top-quality, MB Authorized paint work done.
Backstory:
————————————-
My local MB dealer ran a Sprinter into my rear bumper, put my car in the body shop of their choice without calling to tell me, and returned the car to me with substandard repair work. The car has now been back twice to fix the carbon fiber trim they tried to glue on after breaking all the clips that retain it. Now, I’ve noticed the rear bumper cover is distorted, as if the structure under it is deformed. To top it all off, when I picked my car up last week it was full of body shop dust and had a really nice vertical crease in the rear passenger door from some knucklehead opening a car door into it. The only damage this car has ever had is from its trips to the dealership!
Anyways, I’m getting the dealership to pay for the paintless dent repair on the door, and properly fix the rear bumper to like-new condition. I just don’t want them to do it. Twice bitten... third-time shy in my case.

Really, nothing?
I guess I’ll give Beverly Coach Craft a shot and post the results once the work is competed.
In the mean time, I’m happy to hear about other body shops people have had good luck with in the LA area.

Searching for CLK63 AMG BS and G63 AMG
I had work done by Beverly Coach Craft and thought the service and work was top notch (ended up being recommended to them by MB Beverly Hills). For anyone in the area, I'd recommend them (car was a lease and no issues upon return, etc.).

Does anyone have any other body shop recommendations in Socal? I’m in the IE, but willing to drive to OC or LA. Thanks!
