As posted in a different thread I hit the wall at the track on Friday and need to get a new rear Bumper.
Tony from Performance Nissan referred me to M1 Autobody who are asking for $500 to paint the bumper with the OEM black.

I'm hoping to find something a bit cheaper and hopefully closer to my neighborhood in Studio City.

Anyone know of a GOOD place that can accomodate my need?

Thanks

 

+1 for M1 autobody. Ask for Alex and tell him that Tony and I sent you

 

I just spoke to McAllistor which is the official place universl Nissan sends their people to, they quoted me the same price but they are almost next door to me which means I wouldn't loose more time from work.
Anyone have any experience with them?

BTW Rickdogg....what's your name or do they know you at M1 as RickDogg?

 

Talk to Alex and he will know who you are talking about Rickdogg or Rick is the same.

Hopefully the body shop you mentioned does not have the same customer service that Universal City Nissan has

 

Lol, I agree with you there, Universal Nissan sucks

 

Try GrandPrix in Downtown L.A. 213-624-6700, as for Scott. I think they charge about $300.00- 350.00.

 

i had my bumper done at mc allisters. they did a perfect job
chrome silver - perfect match of color from bumper to body

cool thanks, I'm still waiting for the backordered turn light to arrive then I head down there

 

Dude, be careful and don't get too cheap, unless your not to concerned about quality. Most body shops, especially the cheap ones will do a miserable job. I've had many bad experiences lately with body shops. If you are looking for a body shop in the valley, check out F1, ask for Chris and tell him That Rick Wood sent you. Chris is awesome, and honest, and will do a good job for you. Here is their site: www.f1motorsports.com

 

mc allisters is awesome. Even though the management has changed from time to time. They still do amazing work.

 

i go to beverly glen autobody. its on ventura and beverly glen. they do all the work for Casa De Cadillac. they do awesome work. matched my DB Z perfectly and they always have sick porsches and some exotics as well

 

I just wanted to make sure I have an accurate pricing, if it costs $500 to get a quality job then so be it, but I like to always shop around a bit first.

I deal with Chris at F1 all the time, very cool guy, they did my wheel installs including transfer of pressure sensors.
I didn't know they do body work there, interesting.

 

Higher price doesn't necessarily mean better job. If a shop cant do the job, they can't do it no matter how much they charge. Just look at how many people in these forums have not been satisfied by a popular shop that constantly gets mentioned here.

 

Yes, I didn't know they did body work either, I think it's a about a year old, but it's right next door to F1 Autosports (It's a small shop). I think their customer service there is awesome, so I'm going to give their body shop a try next time.

 

+2 on M1 AutoBody..

I'm keeping my fingers crossed! After 2 attempts at M1 my Z is at DTM with David. David assures me I will be happy this time. :-) I'll keep you posted!
