Default ATTN BODYSHOPS: Hit and Run Last week in Nismo V2

BEFORE



AFTER




Pickup Scratch on Pan


Crushed Pickup


Someone in Southern California destroyed my Nismo V2 car. Someone pit manuvered me on the I215 North in Moreno Valley. I flew up the enbankment and slammed down off it, The guy started Running so i started car and took chase to get the license plate. During the chase i didnt realize the oil pan smashed up on the pickup the motor died shortly after getting his plates and being on the phone with 911. I need the VERY BEST body shop around cost isnt an issue since this is my daily baby. I want everything Tagged scratched broken replaced OEM with all oem volks GT 350,new oem engine,Bumper,sides,skirts etc etc. I have been hesitant with insurance on my *** to send the car to their shops and ive been sleepy in the industry for about 2 years so i really dont know any body shop connections. I need either recommendations or top Nissan/body/engine shop. I dont care about price insurance is covering and going after the guy for hit and run. please PM me or list best shops here that are familier with cars like mine. Sorry for a quick thread im typing on my iphone

Sorry about your car but unfortunately due to the value of our cars these days you may be looking at a total.

Wow...good job on the catch man. Sucks what happened to you, but as far as paint work is concerned...i would recommend 2020autobody in the city of industry. They do top notch work for top notch dollar, but you won't be disappointed. They paint the Falken drift cars, so i'm sure they're doing something right.

As far as the engine is concerned, i'm not sure if 2020 does that kind of work, but you can try West Covina Nissan. Talk to Tim Lange, and he'll help you out. WCN is one of two dealerships I ever take my car to, and they always go out of their way to make you happy.

Almost all dealerships outsource their body work. West Covina does not have a body shop, either does performance nissan.

I would suggest you look at the SoCal Vendor list for recommended body shops.

The SoCal vendors list is primarily compiled by recommendations of people who have used those vendors.

Holy shiz man... two thumbs up to you sir. Glad you got a plate number.

I know this is a dumb question but did the person flat out do it on purpose you think? I live off the I215 off Alessandro Blvd so kinda crazy cuz I know that area pretty well.

First hand experience with M1 Auto Body, El Monte and while all body work was great I ran into a problem with them regarding the install of my BBK kit. Everything else was fine. Last thing I've heard was that they were all banned and don't know the reason behind it so I know that's not a good thing but Peter is a great guy.
