Default Body Work & Repair Recommendation

My wifes 2003 SC430 was hit in the drivers side rear, door and rear quarter panel damage and rear wheel/axel bent pretty good. Not sure if any frame work required.

Looking for recommendations on where in the Dallas area to get it repaired right, no shortcuts taken. Sewell, Park Place, other?

Many thanks for any help or recommendations from the forum.

Sewell Lexus Collision Center.

Be sure its the Sewell Lexus Center and not the regular Sewell Collision center.

Can you provide some examples of the repairs you've had with this shop?

Just bought an SC400 and contemplating on either minor paint/body work or a full respray, but have a hard time on searching for a trust worthy quality body shop. If you can share some of your actual experience, that'll really help build confidence. Thx

What I recently had done: Rolled and pulled front and rear quarter panels very light bondo and resprayed (his painters are very skilled at blending paint to the rest of the body).. also had him paint under the hood. A few mos prior he did the body kit. He has done multiple jobs for me on multiple cars.

This should help build confidence..





Feel free to check out a few reviews.. http://local.yahoo.com/info-18635493...dy-shop-irving

Contact me with any questions... I back his work 100%

Just went to City Auto, spoke to Ted and got 2 quotes. Price is a bit less than what I've expected, and he seems very nice. Thanks for the referral gottagitmine
