Dons Collision Center
2253 Old Denton Rd
Carrollton, TX 75006

Don Tidwell

DO NOT GO HERE...They didnt do a good job. I needed to get my bumper done. They just painted over it without prep..you can still see rock chips (if you look closely)

there was 300 miles more on the car when I got the car back (they couldnt explain how that happend).. NO Gas (it was almost full when I gave it to them). And Bonus - my battery died that same day..

and dont forget it was almost $1500 when they were done when initially it was going to be $795...UGH.. I just get upset thinking about it..but I just wanted my car back and didnt want them to TOUCH it ANYMORE.. I already did a BBB complaint and I paid cash $$ too.. They wouldnt fix what I saw and told me it was going to cost more. I will never go there and suggest no one from my350z community goes there either....

I saw Moog's G35 at a show/drag event this summer and it was definitely one of the nicest cars out there. I can vouch for his recommendation as I've seen it firsthand. I'll definitely consider this once I get my body kit in.

Premier Auto Tint
Window tinting only
Little Elm, TX
http://www.premierautotint.com/

This is actually a guy named Jeremy (06GT350Z) working out of his house. He used to run his own business by this name, but he shut it down. He and his brother tinted my car and did a wonderful job. Had to strip old tint and redo it and it came out perfect. This was a couple of weeks ago, but I figured I would finally post up.

Thanks Jeremy!

I need a recommendation on a GOOD for the buck Body Shop around the Dallas area. My car got vandalized while I was at my gf's house. Both my front and rear bumper got spray painted and I'm pissed as HELL!!!!!! IDK what I should do? Should I spend money on repainting both bumpers or invest on buying a V2 Nismo body kit

if you plan on eventually upgrade to the V2, then you might as well go ahead and do so now.

Shop Name: 44 Auto Repair
(214)998-5106 for quotes/appointments/questions
Open 7 days a week!
Dyno: No
Experience: Flawless and will beat ANY price!

These guys have a couple of the top technicians from Japan working here in the Dallas area. One of them worked in Japan specifically on 350z's and his work is FLAWLESS. He recently came here and is now working on project cars across the southern US. The best part is, they will BEAT ANY QUOTE from any other shop. They take real good care of the cars and make sure their have everything perfect.

I took my Z into the shop to get my body kit painted and installed. I also had the technician from Japan install my turbo kit and tune it as well. It was cheap and the work is amazing (those that have seen my car around the Dallas/Arlington/Plano area can attest).

Once again, this is the cheapest place with perfect labor. They're located in DFW around 635 and 35. Best option available from Plano to Arlington.

Dyno: Yes

Experience: Fair pricing. The owner, Kenny, races for Quaker State and Nitto. These guys know their stuff and are super friendly. Good shop whether your experienced in the modding scene or a newcomer.

+1 for jotech. Buddy had his honda tuned there a few years ago and the experience was great. Kenny actualy tuned the car and he was a down to earth guy. he could easily have a big head since he is a popular dude but he was very helpful and did a great job.

Shop Name: Craigs Collision of Grapevine
URL: http://www.craigscollision.com/
Dyno: Not that I know of
Experience: Very good

Haven't had my 350 there - but have had my daughters '06 Mazda3 and my wife's '09 Murano. In both cases, they did a quality job. The Mazda is Victory Red in color - they told me it is actually 3 colors/coats. Anyway - it looks perfect (someone backed into her rear door & rear fender). The Murano was a small scratch/dent - but since it was still so new, I had it fixed. Again - perfect job. I would not hesitate to take my car to them (but hope I never go through the pain of the need to!).
