Thanks.

doesnt look too bad.. give this guy a call 604 832 2272, his name is Kim. hes a private painter/autobody guy in Mission, i got my car and my friends cars done by him and does real good jobs for cheap, also a really nice guy

Try FineArt Auto Collision in Port Moody. (778 216 0951 Unit C - 3060 Spring Street, PoMo)

I had my RSX fixed there when someone hit it.

His prices seem to be pretty good and as is his work.

Not sure if he will be able to give you a good deal on top of his usual rate, but if you get a quote it may be worth telling him Branden with the silver RSX referred you.

Good luck.

go to vcc , they are very cheap , just materials cost. good work too

i was also considering just stopping by maaco for an estimate, the work is minimal anyway, just a bit of bondo

If it is silver, don't cheap out and go for cash jobs.. because there is a good probability that the silver won't match the first time, even if blended properly.

yeah the color is pretty specific ( nordic Mist ) not really a silver, has some purple in it at certain angles, its cool

For a good color match you will need to blend the left door - I also see a small chip on the edge of the door - this would warrent the door for full refinish time as opposed to blend refinish

a good rule of thumb is; good bodywork isn't cheap... and cheap bodywork isn't good.

Why not call ICBC and attempt to make a claim? See what will happen to your rates if you do process a claim.

how would i make a claim? what would i say? the dent was there before i bought the car, along with the deep scratches, and the door is being replaced with one from a salvage yard

Insurance Fraud hurts us all....please dont do commit crimes:(

centennial auto body in north vancouver. I've been happy with them.

I don't know I kind of hope he does. It will be priceless when he gets owned, ICBC will be able to tell thats old ass damage.

ovbs i not gonna file it as a claim, never was thats why i was asking for bodyshops, ur reply was useless.

more recommendations of cheap but good bodyshops!

never said "cheap" i just dont want one that normally do high end cars or stick to icbc claims and is gonna over charge me.

my manager just had her car repaired there, A+ work

might also take a look at ak autoworks andy's a real good guy

how was his reply useless? he was trying to help u out. he didnt know it was an old claim. I don't think there is a time limit on a claim. claim that shit thats why you pay for insurance.

^ I've never been in a situation where a claim would have been beneficial.

Hope one when it really counts that changes :(

brothers in langley 19610 60 Ave, Langley, BC, Canada

had good experience with speed craft near main street

At least we know you don't care about the car :thumbsup:

ughh, troll.

anyway i'm taking it by AK and Starlite today for an estimate ive heard lots of good thing about them.

Starlite in Burnaby. Google it.

I have used Absolute Auto body in Coquitlam time and time again. Their colour matching is simply the best I have ever seen! They did the side of my old titanium silver Civic, repaired the front end of my silver 350Z, resprayed the side of my gunmetal TSX and recently repaired my co-worker's silver Civic. The body work and colour matching results were simply outstanding and the pricing was reasonable as well.

I never recommend anybody else. :)
