I got hit in the parking lot.......while I am away from the car....

Anyone know a reputable fix/paint shop in LA to fix this damage?
And how much do you think it will cost? Thank you.

Don't know where in SoCal you are, but there's a place that Southbay Acura uses in Torrance, CA that did an absolutely amazing job on my mom's TL after my brother wrecked it.

Oh, thanks for the info. Torrance is kinda far away from me.

I live in Walnut, which is next to pomona.

If anyone know a reputable shop, please let me know. Thank you.

There's a group of Automotive shops on Gale Ave. in the City of Industry between Nogales and the road that Brea Canyon Road turns into. I forget the name of the shop but it's either the first or second one on the left side when you turn in. Does excellent work. Don't know if they're still around (I haven't been to that area in over a year) but they should probably be able to do a good job.

Do you remember any part of the name?

If i go from Brea Canyon Road and turn right onto Gale, is it on the left side or the right side? Thank you.

Skill Craft Body Shop in Huntington Beach is good. Ask for Dave Koby (Estimator). From my past experience and some of my friends' experiences it seems they really make sure things are done right.

Left side. If you get to Nogales and the hand carwash, you've gone too far.

This may be way late dude, but my favorite place is Advanced Collision in Van Nuys. Talk to Homan. Very nice work, and watches your back with the insurance companies (i.e., making sure they pay for blending etc.) I took all of my work there when I had my Lexus (so far so good on the TSX).

Marco's did a very nice job on my TSX. The closest one to you is the one in San Gabriel (that's the one I went to also). It's on Las Tunas Ave. (about 1 block west of San Gabriel Blvd.).

Monterjeff, I think CG is talking about Fairway. Brea Canyon Cutoff turns into Fairway. You're talking about Brea Canyon Rd. that is further east.
