Default EXPO Auto Body Wonderful Shop for Z/G35 Owners!

As many of you might know, I just had a two tone paint job done and still continuing with additional paint this week. i just wanted to say that shop dba "Expo Auto Body" exceeded my expectations.

From day one they acted as if I had paid them $1,000,000 for the job. I have had many things doen here and regardless of the price your paying either a high pay job or small pay job the quality of the work if phenomenal. The attention to the customer is one that you dont find anywhere else.

The general manager wo goes by the name of "VU" is an excellent person with great business skills, his detail to perferction can be clearly seen in his excellent work.

I wanted to thank Expo Auto Body and scpecially Vu and his staff for his excellent work and such GOOD customer service. I will never again set foot or trust my car in anybody elses hands but his.

I have already refered a few members from this board to his shop and they can attest to his high quality of a job that he does. Im sure they will post here as well.

If any of you are curious here is their info:

Can you take better pics of whole car with the hood in good view?

Also can you get a painted version of that hood? Thanks

Once again i cant stop but being amazed at the excellent work EXPO does. i recently took the frotn bumper of my Z to EXPO to have the grill cutout for my turbo and they did such great job and the price was more than low for the quality of work. I actually felt bad paying so little for such good quality. I dropped of my engine covers also and hope to have those done this weeks as well.

They also gave me a good price in paintign a stock hood i bought to replace my current CF one. Im so pleased.

Good to hear that about EXPO. Its nice to know there are still shops out there willing to put forth the extra effort to completely satisfy their customers.
