Doug's Custom in Chatsworth is great. They're in the west end of the San Fernando Valley. Good luck.

If you are in the San Gabriel Valley area, check out my friend's at www.dtmautobody.com. They do all the body work on my car and I am very happy with them.

try a shop called K & K Auto body in Van Nuys, CA. 818-786-5660. Two brothers own the shop, Fred and Ramon. They are great. The best paint work I have found for a reasonable price.

They shot my show car, 240Z and it looks amazing.

does anyone where i can get a 3" dent/scratch in my door fixed for fairly cheap? i just went to a shop that quoted me $800 because they have to blend the whole right side of my car"

i'd prefer to just have someone pop it out and do a little touching up.

Those guys are ****ing dicks. I gave them a call and they gave me a ****y ****y attitude over the phone.

So far, MIA @ DTM sounds the most promising.

Makito is the place you want to go for high quality paint. He's somewhat a little bit more expensive, but he uses the best stuff you can get.
