Wondering if anyone knows of a good autobody shop i can take my car to. I need the whole car painted and some small dings taken out. Price range is around 1-1.5gs. the paint shop must paint the door jams and both sides of the hood/ trunk lid ect. BTW im in the markham area. The place cant take to long with the car as I need a car during the week.
427 Auto is going to do the best job in the GTA. They cost more than most places but thier work is second to none. If you want to spend a bit more and do it the right way go see them.
can you describe what type of job was done and how much it cost?
i wonder how pricey they would be, considering they look pretty big.
any pics of the work you got done? i want some rust fixed…i wonder if they can do that without buying whole new rockers etc.
I havn’t had any work done there to my current car but have friends and family use them in the past. Most recently I had a good friend take his new Miata there after a front end collision. He had the hood replaced and one fender repaired. The hood was freshly painted and the fenders faded in. I’ve never seen a cleaner paint job in my life. The fade was completely undistinguishable and the paint on the hood looked factory…pretty impressive considering it was factory pearl/metalic blue. As for the repair to the dented fender it looked perfect. Everything lined up perfectly. These guys really dont mess around.
That said they are more expensive than most places (even more if they’re fixing it under insurance). You’d have to get a quote for your own job, but from everything I’ve seen come out of there it’s worth the price.
Sorry to break it to you but your not gonna find a “good” body shop that will paint your whole car, plus do inside the door jams and hood/ trunk and do bodywork (dents etc) for 1-1.5g’s. Im sure you can find some butchers out there that are dying to get a job that will do it for that much but remember…the price you pay will reflect in the quality of the work. Properly prepping/painting a car, especially if it needs body work isnt a 1 or 2 day occurance, be prepared to leave it for about a week.
Good Luck!
you should check out Stiles Auto Group

that’s a link to his posting for prices for complete paint jobs, etc…but based on civics mostly, 240s should be similar, but you get an idea of cost…link might not work if you’re not a member, not too sure lol
Lyons auto body is one of the finest around as well, excellent work, quite pricey as well. Check them out!
i see. The dents are like 2 little dents from another door opening their door into my door. I may just do the prep and bodywork myself and just send it in for paint im not sure yet. There was one place that somone named zep i believe went to and got his car painted as well as alot of bodywork done for 2k. Anyone know this place?
427 sucks … they did a bullshit job on my s14
Fuck 427!!
How about some numbers guys? Everyone says pricey this and pricey that, but HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY? and what did you get done to pay that price.
I know quotes are given on a car to car basis but What did you pay and how much for the work you got done?
Only person I seen post a price was EZ-Drift aka Zep aka Rick heh and with the work he got done.
crsbb I believe abuncha other guys (blu2forty, willx etc) went to that bodyshop Art Autobody (I think) goto torontonissan.ca that bodyshop is an affilate of torontonissan. Rick is a co-worker of mine and they did an awesome job on his car for a very good price (2300).
I’m also looking for a experienced shop that is fairly priced and that one is on my list including Velocity (they have plenty of experience with front end swaps, which i am doing) Anghellic got his s15 conversion done with full paint job just under 2k i believe at velocity, and they’ve done multiple cars you see in magazines.
Lyons auto body is terrible.
I’m looking for information as well. I need EXTENSIVE bodywork done to my car, rocker panels need to be replaced as well as 1 section of the floor pan, 2 rear quarter panels as well as some portions of the frame patched up. i’m prepared to pay 3-4 grand to have the end result and the car primed (no need to paint, entire front clip is carbon fiber as well as the trunk)
I’m also in the process of stripping down the car already so its not like they’d have to do that.
