Body Shops - Bucks County
So I was in a hurry the other night and did not even notice I had parked in a spot with a pillar (more of a 4' plastic barrel which is apparently mounted over a steel or concrete pole) at the side of my rear bumper. Since the space to either side of me was open and I was more concerned for other cars backing up or coming around the narrow aisles I started turning earlier than I obviously should have
So I am feeling utterly stupid, scraped the lower edge of the front bumper/airdam right on the corner around and below the turn indicator lamp. Now it needs to be sanded and painted.
I went for an estimate (baseline) from the dealer body shop....they want almost $800. Their labor adds up to about 12hrs and I would expect a good body man/fabricator can do better work in less time, besides I would rather pay the money to a small shop than the dealer anyday. Does anyone have recommendations for a body shop in the Bucks PA area? How about an aftermarket installer/customizer? I have been thinking of having the rear bumper cut and putting on a new exhaust system.
Much appreciated.
