    Default Autobody Shops

    I was wondering if any of guys can recommend a good, reliable place that will give a reasonable price to paint my front bumper. I have an artic white 3 and the front bumper is not looking good. Btw how much would a new front bumper cost painted?

    Thanks

    There\'s a body shop just north of Mazda of Toronto, actually north of Steeles. I think it\'s called Superior Auto Collision. FLIPSPEED has recommended them before and I\'ve had some very minor paint work done there in the past as well.

    Forest Hill Auto North, in Richmond Hill. I\'ve had two repairs done there, my front bumper, and then my passenger side both doors(got side swiped). Great work(although not the cheapest), perfect paint job.

    I\'ve used Scarboro Mazda\'s body shop (Euroasia Autobody).....I was fairly happy with both the workmanship and the price. Other car clubs swear by them. The paint was matched perfectly, the work was done on time, and they didn\'t charge more than the estimate. They also arranged a rental car for me and explained all of the work that was to be done.

    I have a frd that works in this shop that do body paints for mercedes only. He does other cars too and is highly skilled. I just had my 02 Camry\'s bumper painted for $200 and he does a very very good job at it. He is now working on repainting someones mini because the owners mom took one of those green cloth that you wash dishes with to wash the car. Whole car he\'s charging $4000 and the dealer is charging for $7000
    So if anyone is interested in painting there bumper/hood/door anything leave me a pm.

    I noticed most of the places here do big jobs. Does anyone know of a reputable body shop which does small jobs at a reasonable price?

    I\'m also in search of a shop to do a small bumper patch (a scratch approx 0.2x40 mm)

    Colour match is key, since I already tried with the ultimate Mazda touchup pen, the colour always comes up darker. As is the general problem with metallic paint.

    Anyone know of any in the Toronto Central Area that\'s reputable? Wouldn\'t mind spending $50-100 on it as long as it looks like new after.

    maybe all interested parties looking for body work should list what area they are in. No sense recommending a good shop if it is 2 hours drive away.
    Maybe someone should make a list of approved (well liked) body shops in the area
