> [@1sik bmw](#): > > Isnt that the point?:gotme: :word: it is the point :). i’ve seen some work from body shops where you can still see hints of the damage (waves in body lines, bad paint job, crappy bondo work, cracking after few months after the repair, etc). ---

Do not, I repeat, do not go to Carruba. I am very much NOT happy with the work they did to my car. I’d try Gerstner’s, as I’ve only heard good things about them. Good luck! ---

Dan Habuda? He worked for my grandfather. Who, for quite some time during the 60’s and 70’s, was very known for his body work in the area. 🙂 ---

Ed and Pat’s Dynamaster. They do all the paint and/or body work for every vehicle I’ve ever owned. Very good and very fair. 873-8814. Sorry to hear Akvile, and good luck. ---

Hoffmans used to be right by my dads old shop, they are nice people to deal with, not sure how expensive tho. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/body-shop-question/5381.md?page=1)
