Hey guys. Can anyone recommend a quality and fair body shop in town? Also, if possible a place in the mandarin area?
My mother decided to visit today.... My car was in my garage and she pulled into the driveway behind my car. Apparently, she started to get out with her 370z still in drive and it hit my rear bumper cover. It's not bad but it chipped the paint at where the bumper comes to a point. Ugh! Left some small scratches on each side of the bumper. Pictures to follow...

Seems like JHart recommended a good shop at one point but i think it was up closer to University and Philips... He can chime in with the name...

One of my students (I teach part time) Is a paint and body guy at one of the dealers here. he does some side work out of his house... Never seen his work but if it's small he may be able to hook you up with a deal...

Anyway, here's some pics. As I said its not bad, but, bad enough that it will drive me crazy until I get it fixed.

Thanks, I had a feeling that was going to be the case. Do you think I can do better on the quotes I've received so far? Sure would be nice....

LOL, it was actually the rear bumper. Since the cost is right around 500..I'm on the fence about going through insurance. I don't want to have a claim on there to give them a reason to increase my rates. I figured I'd have to spend 500 anyway for the deductible. Hopefully I can get it fixed for alittle less than that......maybe.

any possibility of finding a used rear piece from here or a salvage yard?
Might be able to save some money if you can find a good one locally... then be able to sell yours as fixable... or have a project bumper for any future ideas...
