Local list

Hey Everyone,

On of the things that we tend to ask on this board is ...."where is a good body shop in Dallas?" or "Where can I get this dent removed caused by the soccer mom parked next to me." Or "Does anyone have any hookups at a tirestore" etc.....

So what I would like to do is compile a list of places that WE ALL recommend and have had experiences at. Once we have compiled a fair amount of info I will create another section in the forum where all this info will reside.......So please put your input even if someone already mentioned one bodyshop we need other reputable bodyshops or dent removal, lawyers etc.....Variety is the spice of life.... This is a group effort so I expect more input from alot of you.

If you need a good wash and detail and live in Ft Worth, I recommend BriteZone Auto Wash. It is located on Bryant Irvin Rd, just south of I-20. They charge me $39.95 for a full wash and detail. This includes having every crack and crevice blown out with compressed air! They also hand wax the car for that price. They leave no area of your car untouched. They treated the leather too. Great price, and great service.

If modifications are needed to the top post, enter the business name and the changes to be made.

Had work done on my Audi A4 USP front bumper. They replaced the upper part of the bumper and "tried" to fill in the license plate holes which started to bubble 3 months later. They also damage my front fenders when installing the bumper which they fixed, but cost me another day for the car rental. So please remove them form the local list I wouldn't want this to happen to Ntag member.

So if you have to replaced USP Upper bumper cover at Stuarts Paint and Body it would cost you 1600 plus 5 day without your car and a poor body work. Now if my car was a lotus or porsche then i would had better service.

Houston used to work with Ron Gorski when they were Xpert installation. He is now on his own and does pretty much all the work for Boardwalk Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, Ruf, Stuart's, etc. Couldn't recommend him enough - done 4 full wrap jobs for me.

I brought this up on a thread last month, but Steve at ShowroomFX is great to work with. I was ready to start on a major project when I realized I didn't have a good citrus wash to prep the car with. Steve went out of his way to have his partner open his office on a holiday weekend when he was out of town to get me the stuff. Check out the website at www.showroomfx.com. His prices are just as good as the popular online sites in NJ and AZ, and you support the local guy. Check out the Mcguires 105/205 and his deal on a Porter Cable.

2nd that, he's a nice guy & willing to help after the sale too.

[Ur20v]

First thing I noticed was the deal on the Porter Cable.

So he does have a local "will call" window? That's awesome customer service... something many businesses are lacking thse days.
