Planing to take the IS to Longo tomorrow since the wide decided to back into Jeep Wrangler in the drive way. Trunk is smashed up pretty good. Its a Starfire so we will see how good they can match up the paint. Going through AAA insurance, so far so good in the claim process since Longo has an actual AAA rep on site.

Got the car back from Longo a few days ago and i have to say they did a great job. Repairs were completed on time and received updates on the progress every few days. Anyone looking for a repair shop in socal, consider these guys.

Default Need paint/body shop recommendation in OC

Whats up SoCal....I need a referral to a great shop that does custom work at a fair price. Any solid referrals for me?

I did a little bit of searching on CL but didn't come up with much for a shop in the OC. Shops in South OC would be great.

I'm going to need some fiberglass and custom work done. Your referrals are appreciated.

Got into a fender bender and will be going through insurance, is platinum vip the place everyone goes? I got my front end repainted by some shop and they did a SHOTTY job at it and i can see that they didn't even do multiple coats of paint, so the paint isn't even peeling off, all of it just flaked off. I'm near 626 area

Does Platinum VIP do fender work? fender rolling/shaving?

If so, any idea on pricing?

Default Collision repair! PLEASE HELP!

Hello fellow CL SC members. It is with great sorrow that I report my SC was hit while parked outside my house. The damage is not extensive, but is not minor either. I need to find the absolute best body shop in all of Southern California, preferably one that has experience working with modified/show/tuner cars. I do not make much money, but I work hard, 70-80 hours a week and my SC is my absolute pride and joy. I have always approached it with only the best care and parts, sparing no expense in owning it, and this incident has really ruined it for me. I really need to find the best body shop out there to get this fixed right so please let me know of any you know!
