hi, i am just wondering where do u guys take your cars to get service or body work done at. i really dont know any shops around my area and i am getting tired of overpaying for services. if u guys know any1 or u can do it yourself, please reply to me in this post or PM me, well thanks.

 

i have a friend at frankel acura on york road. thats where i go.

 

Hey, cool. Would you mind if I took down his name? I'm not too terribly far from Frankel Acura.

Thanks.:goodjob:

 

hi, on avg does your friend do it for a pretty good price? or does he charge like the dealership? thanks

 

The front of my driveway.

But really, if you can't do it yourself, Karen Radley Acura/VW (Woodbridge, VA) does good work. Dell's automotive is also a fair shop (Stafford, VA.)

They are not in the true metro area, but they're not in the complete boonies either.

 

two good shops in Montgomery County, MD = Shannon Auto Body in Gaithersburg, MD. Incredible work, but expensive also. They are total perfectionists, and won't hesitate to correct something if they screw up. I've been there several times with several cars and always been more than pleased - but an insurance company was paying each time.

The other one I know of by reputation only is Scuderi Auto Body in Rockville. They have a generally positive reputation, although I've heard one or two negative things - like them backing a car into a pole at super slow speeds, scuffing a bumper, and then denying it. But 9/10 things I've heard have been positive.

Lastly, for service check out Tolker's Auto Service at 427A East Diamond Ave. in old town Gaithersburg. He's been in business a long while, and can work on just about everything.

 

I go to T&S Customizing in Frederick, MD. It cost me 1200 for full paint job, putting my new rear bumper on, shaving some things, and also removing existing dings/dents. They mostly work on Hondas/Acuras and I think both of the guys have 2nd and 3rd gen Tegs as well as Civic hatchbacks as far as I know. They're cool and do good work.

 

$1200? i would never get that around here! at least i dont know where last time i went to a body shop they were trying to charge me 200 dollars just to drill holes for my spoiler! :madfawk: ( i did it myself for $2 worth of parts :thumbup: ). anyways i would love to see the pics of you car if u have any! that place sounds great i am going to have to check them out next time i need something done. do they only do body work? well thanks for the reply!

 

Can someone tell me how to post the pics? I'm not sure how...

He charges 1000 flat for a paint job though, any color with metallic if you want, as long as its not candy or kameleon paint.
