Advice Bay Area Body Shop

Advice needed from all your San Francisco Bay Area Members

I was driving through a re-paving zone on Hwy 80 near Fairfield heading east and got pelted by small rocks and pebbles. I now have rock chips on the bumper and hood. Since my car is black, the chipped areas are really noticeable. I'm planning to have the bumber and hood re-painted with the Nano paint/clearcoat.

I've done searches here and have come up with some useful information. I've also contacted many of the local dealers for their recommendations and "certified" body shop. Below is a list of the shops given to me. Let me know if any of you have had personal experiences with these body shops or if you know of other shops.

MBZ of El Dorado Hills recommended: Cooks Collision
MBZ of SF: European Collision
MBZ of Walnut Creek: Concord Collision Care
Autobahn: Euro Tech Collision
Fletcher Jones has their own.

I'm looking for a shop who will be using the OEM Nanoceramic paint/clearcoat. If you know of other recommended shops, I'm open to it. Any inputs you guys may have will be greatly appreciated. TIA!!!

Hey 03E500AMG - Do you have personal experience with these guys? What did you have done and when? Did they use nano clearcoat? How's it holding up? Thanks!

I forgot about this place as well. Rich painted the hood of my Ford lightning when I Got a nasty rock chip on the hood. I also had him fix my wife's Lexus when we got rear ended. Excellent work. Also painted my brother in laws Ferrari when he a bad spoiler hit on a driveway.
