Cali-OC paint & body shops ?
I'm looking for reputable shops that can take my modified M-covers and do a great job color-matching my Silver/grey coupe.
What seems to be the average cost per cover to repaint in this region ?? If I can find some Aero skirts and an M-hood I'll do it all at the same time. Recently had someone rub my pass. fender while they backed out of a parking space.....a little more than a PDR guy wants to guarantee. I'm down in SoCal/laguna area.......would love it if I can find a local shop. I'm new down here or else I'd be hooked up.  |

Sterling Collision is currently doing my car, I'll post pics of their work.
A friends car was recently worked on by A1 Autobody in Huntington Beach and they did an amazing job. |

Car is Fugged!
Well, while borrowing a friends SUV to move after a relationship break up, I came back to swap the Yukon for my Z coupe and found it 25 ft further down the street and badly smashed with destroyed wheels and broken control arms etc.
I'm needing a reputable body shop to do a proper estimate for repair or total in Orange County. I'm nearest laguna beach. However the car is at the tow yard in Anaheim . Anyone know of good shops ? I've heard of Sterling, Caliber. Any others ? |

Spectrum Collision is the only other BMW certified repair center in So Cal outside of the VPC in Oxnard to fix certain aluminum framed BMWs. Arguably the best bodyshop in OC.

 No one injured. No one was even in my car.....not even me. For whatever reason, its taken 15 days in a rental to get the car to Spectrum Collision center in Lake Forest. They are doing a tear-down inspection this week to determine if totaled or repaired. What a complete hassle this has been so far. |

 Holy cheese.....the officer took 26 days to turn his report in all the while I've paid out of pocket for a rental-( no rental option selected on my insurance).34 days later I'm now waiting for ( the person who hit me) her insurance to make a adjustment call even though my insurance has called it totaled. They are picking up the rental from here on out. If you guys run across some great deals on coupes whether M or S.I.'s, please post up your link. I'm finding the 6-speed higher option cars hard to find. Prefer something in California if possible, but transporting is an option. My car is at Spectrum Collision in Irvine/Lake Forest currently. |

What are you looking for as far as color options? Any mods you do/don't like?

I'm repairing it and getting on with my life. The lies that adjusters do is unbelievable. There was no frame damage after all....no damage beyond the wheels,one trail arm and the 1/4 panel. Yet they claimed $17,000.00 in damages seen and unseen. Then I was taken aside and whispered that it could be repaired like new for $2,000.00. I just paid this car off 6 months ago, and was facing another bank loan to be back square.  |
