try autosense... they are one of the bodyshops that does work for MCL (korva and burrard autostrasse being the other ones).

back in the day Super Racing in richmond used to send all their high-end stuff over there before they hooked up with bismark.

I need to go paint my kit for GFM too. I recommend Auto Mind or Park and Collision on No.3 Road in Richmond

I recommend Richmond Autobody

Mom's IS got a new front bumper painted there. Great paint match and they even got the correct grill and headlights.

bump.

i had an accident with my mom's rx300 yesterday. i need recommendations for a shop to fix it private (ie. no icbc claim), that also has loaner cars.

i wanted to go to bismark, but their original painter just quit and i don't know what the new one is like.

autosense has a 2 month waiting list because have a lot of icbc stuff in the pipeline to do, and i have to rent my own courtesy car.

i'm not going to 1st class autobody because they don't seem interested in private stuff. they gave me ridiculous quote the last time i went that was $1200 more than the shop i ended up going to (bismark).

i've done work at both richmond automind and park collision years back and both didn't do good paintwork

ron-gord in bby was another recommendation, but the contact i'm supposed to talk to for a good price is out of town until the end of december.

recommendations appreciated.

IIRC, richmond autobody does repairs for richmond lexus because the open road autogroup owns them...
