Integra Custom Collision

Has anyone ever used their services?
I drive by their shop on Clark Drive often and regularly see Lamborghinis inside getting worked on as well as Ferraris and Bentleys.
Is this any indication of the quality of work that they do? Or do they just have a contract with one of the car dealers?

Worked there for a couple weeks, paint work is horrific (amount of dirt and fisheyes was ridiculous). They have (at least when I worked there) one painter and body man both on straight time who warned from day one to find something else. I'd stay the hell away.

Edit:
Could be the owners cars, I know he had a bunch

I can attest to this. There is some old timer shops over in that area that have some real old school techs and body guys working at them who do fantastic work.

There's a guy on clark who can rebuild just about anything, starters, alternators, window motors, etc.

He rebuilt the alternator on an old truck of ours, he actually re-wound the thing put out like 1.5x the power that it did from the factory (we asked for this cause the truck had a welding machine and stuff on it).

The shop next to his does some intense old school metal fabrication work.

Oh ok cool, it's been around 2 years since I worked there. I'll retract my previous statement if that's true

I noticed a sudden influx of high end cars in there quite a few months ago and asked around cuz my buddy has a shop there, new owners partnered together.

Can't speak for their work but obviously you don't get work on those kind of cars if you do shitty work. They're brave souls though, I mean you fuck something up just even in disassembly on a Ferrari and you're $10k in the hole just like that.
