Body Shop in the GTA????
Hi,
I have a Sandstone metallic '95 SC400 that could use some TLC to bring the body back to perfect - rock chips and inconsiderate drivers have taken their toll and I also have a tiny dot of rust appearing on the DS corner of the windshield from a botched glass repair before I bought the car. At the very least I'd like to have the nose and tail resprayed (plus the dot of rust treated and sprayed) - although a more thorough job might make sense - to remove a few door dings etc as well.
Can anyone recommend a body shop in the GTA who will do a great job without breaking the bank?? Also, some cost indicators would be useful too.
Cheers,
Tim

They are located in Scarborough. Just tell them the guy with the black Lexus who painted his grille black sent you.
The shop doesn't look appealing, but his work and price are pretty good.

I would start by visiting a few local shops for estimates.
It can range on the degree of work especially the windshield as it will have to be removed to be repaired properly and 99% still return.
The dings i would fix before painting which can be cheap and have the stone chipped areas repaired as needed on the hood an fenders. the rest of the paint can probably be buffed back to new if needed easily.
If you are in 401/kennedy area on Saturday we are having a meet and could take a look at it there to give you a better idea on how to proceed.
