Default Body Work

Anyone know a decent place to get some body work done without paying an arm and a leg? I bought the Z with a pretty decent scratch on the driver side door that goes all the way to the metal and it goes across the whole door and I need it repaired. So far my cheapest quote has been 950ish. I really don't want to pay that much to get the door fixed. I also have the other door that has a bunch of little dings in it...the paint is messed up just a bunch of dings. Any idea? I tried a few places on the westbank and thats what I got.

Already tried them.....they wanted 950 ish I believe to fix the scratch and respray the door and apparently because it is black I need to spray both fenders also? And then California customs wanted 1100 to do both doors.

Just keep one thing in mind, some of the guys that charge more, will probably do better work. California Customs is a pretty good shop.

the reason they will spray the fenders and the doors is to fade the paint so it does not look off. they resprayed the entire hatch and rear quarter panel on my car to fix the rear bumper. looks flawless.
