Anyone know a Quality Body Shop? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys, as many of you know, my car was sideswiped and then repaired by my dealer. Well they did a hack job. They cleared over spots with no paint, they damaged my side skrits, my doors are damaged and well they sprayed glass cleaner all over my rear seats and those are now stained and need to be replaced. After fighting with insurance, they sent out an inspector who was a great guy and he saw everything, took pics and said to bring it to any shop when ever I wanted to so that the car can be repaired properly. He even indicated other things that I missed which they damaged.
So the car is sitting in the garage, Statefarm is ready to send the car out when im ready which I indicated would be the beginning of March. So what I would really REALLY like is to get some honest opinions on shop that I can truly count on to take care of my car.
If anyone knows anyone who can truly vouch for someone who will take extra time and care, please PLEASE let me know. I dont care what they charge to insurance, and neither does my insurance company so any help would be greatly appreciated.
My car was emaculate, no dents, no scratches apart from minor swirls, and now I have a car that has been damaged by a careless driver and my dealer who out of all people should have taken care of me.
Thanks everyone
Happy Motoring folks

Zenetec Collision in Barrie, does all the high end cars in town. They also do all the painting and installation of 5th gen Camaro gfx kits for the local Chev dealer. They cost more (I dont think there is anyone more expensive in town), but do a better job. You could eat off of the shop floor and its not uncommon to see 3+ Mercedes / bmw / etc. in the shop at a time. I have been referred to them by the local Acura, Mazda and Chev dealerships in the past. They are worth a look, depending on how far away you are.

Fourway Autobody has painted every car for my shop for the past six years. Good honest guys. They are currently doing completes on three cars for me right now. Give Mike a call 416-743-5824 or give me a call to discuss.

I have a big hammer. Chisel too. I'll do it quick. You only supply the duct tape.

P.S. bring nail polish for touch up afterwards.

The Auto Dream Group in Niagara Falls is the place to go.www.autodreamgroup.com.They do amazing work to all types and makes of vehicles.If the insurance company is paying the bill you want the best there is.

Sorry to hear about your Camaro
To be honest keep your fingures crossed for any body shop in Toronto .
I have seen guys who do amazing work on one car, give a smoking deal on the work.
And the next time they do a hack job and rip the guy on pricing .
That's why I never refer bodyshops .

Let us know how it turns out where ever you ended up going .

TJ91 · 01-27-2011, 03:18 AM

Thanks guys for all the recommendations and advice! I really hope to find someone who will do what needs to be done. Im trying ot find a guy on the inside who will take care of my car for sure.
Bumblbee, ill definitly keep that in mind. Really appreciate the advice.
Thanks guys, you make this journey easier
