Vancouver GLK'rs - BodyShop

Does anyone have recommendations of a good quality MB bodyshop?

I would like to get my Aero kit painted and installed within a few weeks after Christmas?

Yeah, I know anyone knows how to paint...but the installation is the key for a good quality fit.
The dealer is asking $$$ like brain surgery.

If you want top quality, I heard Korva World Class Collision is good. Another would be Burrard Autostrasse. But expect to pay top dollar for it though.

thanks revandus

if I can get away with the 'top dollar' part, then I would contact them. I know Burrard Autostrasse is expensive as they only deal with super 'high-end' cars.

NP. I seriously recommend going to at least a decent bodyshop though since your vehicle is calcite white and inexperienced shops WILL screw up your colour.

Ah, also, try Rich City Collision too. I have heard good things from them and I believe they are not as expensive.

thanks again, revandus.
you're right, calcite white can be easily screwed up by inexperience painters.
Will call around to see who actually paints MB's.

Then, when at the shop I will see their installation work to determine if they are able to do my aero kit.
