Good body shop in Tacoma, WA

*Howard92884* · 02-17-2008, 11:43 AM

Does anyone know of any good body shops in Tacoma? I don't know of any because I am barely home, I only come home for 2 weeks at a time. So I am coming home in may and want to have my car fixed an painted before I get home. I have a '90 240sx and I bought it with some damage, the front driver fender is damaged and will need replace, and the driver rear quarter panel is dented. So basically just fix that and repaint the car. I don't need anything flashy just want to get back to factory look. Thanks in advance for your help.

i dont know of anything good in tacoma except for UP garage for parts/installs.
it really depends how much you want to spend. i know of a few reputable paint shops, but you will pay for quality.

ive had a big ass dent pulled on my old kouki. i was hit in my driverside rear 1/4 panel. cost insurance 3500 (pearl white) at Bel-Red Auto Rebuild in ritzy bellevue. pssh, first night we had freezing temps my paint cracked. then they tried to pin it on me saying i messed with the jack in the trunk and it rattled around...i was like, WTF?!?!? i blew up on em right in the body shop. id never been in my fuckin trunk. anyway, the owner made it right. saw him down at a bar in kirkland and said whats up, told him real quick and he said to just bring it in and he'll have it fixed no questions. haha. got my valences painted for free too. however, the second time around there was overspray and some spackling. i wish i would have gone to queen city in redmond. oh, they broke by remote to my nakamichi cd player too that was chillin in my door handle. this is supposed to be a pristine place, they work on lambos and ferraris. my nissan wasnt a gtr, so i guess they just dont give a shit. do a lot of research even before you take it to one of the most expensive places lol.
