ww Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I was just run off the road today and caught a sign post about 6 inches in front of the rear bumper. The post slid right between the tail light and the bumper destroying my passenger rear quarter panel, blowing out the tail light, ripping off the rear skirt and pushing the top of the quarter panel underneath the lid of the rear hatch... ;( Luckily, it was a wooden sign post... This is really depressing as I'm leaving the state for the Christmas 'vacation' Sunday morning. So, the Z is going to sit in the garage for the next two weeks while I'm out of town sulking. I was about to get the whole car repainted anyway, but I really didn't want to have to do any 'extra' body work. Anyone know a good body shop in the SF Bay Area? Even though I'm insured, I'm gonna pay for it out of my pocket, so I'm looking for good work for a reasonable price. I don't need a museum quality paint job like I was quoted last month.

240Z2NV Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Where in Bay Area are you looking for shops? I know a shop in Marin with a stand-up owner. He and his Dad run the shop and they do better-than-average work at reasonable prices..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 I'm in the east bay (Dublin/San Ramon/Pleasanton) but wouldn't hesitate to take it where it'll get done well. Thanks, WW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staledale Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hey look up RacerX in Daly City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z2NV Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I wouldn't hesitate to use RacerX either; but, I thought that he sold his shop(?). Anyway, he did VERY high end jobs...like Concours quality, Lamborghini, Bentley,.... If you want the info for the guy in Marin let me know.....

fl327 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Call this man 415 726-8889 Warren. He, unlike most body shops these days, knows what a z is supposed to look like, and he will work with a budget. Bring up the zcar, he will know who sent you most likely.
