Angry Help, Need a Body Shop

Hey All,

As you can see I live in Delaware and last night in the hotel parking lot somebody backed into my Z, scraped me right down the drivers side and ripped off my door handle. Nice deep scrapes and a huge dent...

Any ideas on a good body shop? Any help would be great...Thanks...

Just north of Torrance (in Gardena) is a place called Finish Line Automotive. They painted and installed my body kit. Entirely satisfied (quick and inexpensive).

Finish Line Auto Craft
15935 S. Western Ave.
Gardena, CA 90247
310-767-1577

Best of luck... Ohhh and when I was looking for shop, I made some notes on various shops mentioned in the SoCal forum (for this area). You can search for them or call them to see what any of them can do. I don't have experience with any of them other than the one I mentioned...




Reflections Auto Body in Wilmington. It's near the 110 and the 405

Autocraft in Torrance


Not the cheapest, but our body shop (about a block from my store) does awesome work. We have had several Forum members cars from mild to major damage have repairs done there and everyone has caslled me to say how happy they were. Also I can monitor the job and handle any back ordered parts as well. Call me, Jason or Jenny and we'll hook you up!!!

Front bumper, side skirts, rear skirt ~1,300 though the kit was of very good quality and needed close to no prep. Prepping bad pieces would increase the cost quite a bit, so you'll need to get a quote on what you need done.
