Hey guys
As some of you know, I got myself into an accident. I've been searching the forums far and wide for some body shop suggestions. I've come up with Joe at Backyard Creations and Kennedy at Premier Auto Collision.
Which one would you guys suggest? My parents are insisting I get it done at a Lexus dealer. I would rather get it done at a shop that has good references, such as Backyard. How expensive is Joe? I heard he has great work but can get pricey. I know the accident I got into but, still, I would rather it not get too pricey for me. Also, I've heard good things about Premier Auto Collision but apparently Kennedy (who everyone seems to be referring to) no longer works there?
Thanks in advance for any input, guys. I really need it!

P.S. Never mind, Kennedy is still working at Premier. I guess he just isn't working today. Some unfortunate word choice by Hector, I guess!

Well, it seems like Premier claimed Kennedy would be working on the car still even though he is not there anymore... perhaps they are just banking on his reputation amongst the CL crowd. They assured me it would still me Kennedy working on my car, which, now that I read more and more, seems pretty improbable.

body shop recommendation in OC
Somebody hit and ran on me... couldnt get any information but that's another story. Now need a good body shop in the OC area preferrably (orange, westminster, fountain valley). Pretty much need a new bumper, and to paint the left rear quarter panel and possibly left side door. Have a Tungsten pearl 2IS, if that matters since I don't know if it'd be a hard color to match. Latest thread on a recommendation was last month's but there was no reply. Thanks in advance for any good recommendation.

Body Shop?
Hey guys!
I've got a 93 GS300. It needs a lot of body work. Big dents everywhere. Its been repainted poorly several years ago. I'm looking to get a new body kit and repaint. Can you guys recommend a shop in southern california? Do you guys have any idea how much it should cost to repaint to factory color, black... I live in Long Beach.
Thanks,
James
