Some moron in a minivan backed up into my gf's 4 month old Altima last night because they "wanted to change lanes" in traffic. Anyone know a good body shop in the area that does high quality paint? I don't want to go somewhere and have it start oxidizing and/or peeling in 2 years on her. If it's a AAA approved shop that's even better since she'll get their guarantee on the repair.

Damage itself doesn't look too bad unless there's stuff under the surface. Looks like it just smashed the front license plate holder and the smashed bits scraped the hell out of the bumper around it though which means they'll probably have to replace it since it's into the plastic.

 

You can start here:

TNT might be a good place to start.

 

I took my Jeep to a place down Taylor Road in Rocklin when I backed into one of those cement poles that guard the gas pumps at the gas station. Pushed the rear corner all the way back to my tire.

They did BAD *** work.

If that's not to far for you, I'll get their name.

 

That would be cool. We live over near Arco Arena/Power whatever the hell they renamed it but if the place is worth it anywhere around Sac/Roseville/etc. is fine so Rocklin sounds ok to me. I'm expecting that unless there is damage underneath we can probably get away with bringing it in for the quote, they order the part and paint/bake (or whatever they do now)/etc. to the new bumper then we just bring the car back for an hour or whatever for them to swap out the bumper.

Classy place bro. Especially for a bunch of wrench monkeys.

 

thanks

edit: I see there is one on Sunrise too, I wonder if it's any good. The Rocklin one has some fairly good Yelp reviews but the Sunrise one has none at all.

 

thats where my Z went... the one on pacific... my paint didnt match well and my dash was not fitted properly... I didnt pick the car up because I had work so I could not complain before the papers were signed... just INSPECT the work before you take it home... I have no other complaints, awesome service and great people...

 

Well that's not encouraging. I might end up asking Nissan who they use for bodywork.

 

all they painted was my V2 front.. and I didnt have a chance to inspect the work before it was signed off, and Im sure they would have made it right if I had brought it up prior. I would go to them again simply because they were kind, courteous, and never gave me a hassle. I would just be very specific about what you want (IE paint blending)...

 

I had the same issue with another place. They painted my front bumper and it was off. Apparently the 350Z Silver is really damn hard to match. They got it right the second time though.

 

See post above. The guys I had refinish my Z's bumper are the ones that the Automall Nissan takes their cars to. They're cheap and fast. Which is expected when you see who works there. $200 for the whole shebang and they only had to fix it once. lol


Lifetime warrenty though.

 

So it is in Stockton and I make the drive from Roseville every time because it is worth it. Talk to Tye at Angkor Body and Paint in Stockton. I have had multiple cars done there and the paint is always exact, they us PPG paint also. PPW is a three layer paint and they matched mine perfectly twice on my Z and also the Desert Platinum on my wife's G coupe when it was rear ended. Good luck

BTW Sacramento Infiniti and Elk Grove Nissan/Infiniti use them for their cars.

 

I also live in Sacramento and have been looking for a good auto body shop that could repaint my bumper and make sure it matches the rest of the car. Nissan of Elk Grove referred me to their Auto Body shop "Florin Road Collision Center" located on 3810 Florin Road Sacramento Ca 95823. They said they own the shop and when the dealership was on Florin it was right next door. I got a quote there and their price is a little higher than most but they were the only ones that said matching the paint would not be an issue. If I bring them a new bumper they said they would shoot it for $350. I am trying to find a shop that can shoot it for less and be willing to shoot it even if I just sand and prep my bumper on my own.
