Someone recently hit my car. Damaged my doors on the left side.
Can Anyone recommend a good repair shop in the Bay Area? I am here in San Francisco and would prefer to go to a good shop in the city.
Any feedback would be great from you guys!!!!

simple, do what I do.
call the acura dealership.
ask them what body shop they send their cars to for work.
then take your car there.

Uncle_Deki

thank you for your response.
Still trying to do research.
I did call my dealership however they said they take all their cars to the honda dealership next door.
My question is, would prices be more than the shops that were recommened by my insurance company. How does the quality and price vary. I want the shop to do a good job, but then I dont want to go to a place where they excessively overcharge.

thanks once again for any feedback!!!!

Go to body shop near by Acura of Serramonte in Colma. Price is a little higher than normal. They do for Lexus also. They can factory match it.

yeah i called the serramonte dealership and they take it to the serramonte auto plaza body shop. Need to know if anyone had any experience with them. Good, bad, ugly???
thank you

I took my previous TSX to them. They said they will repaint the whole rear bumper for $500. but i trade the car instead of repainting dings. I saw couple of Acuras. They looks perfect. even brand new Acuras dealership took to them as one of it has something fallen on it.

Uncle_Deki

do you know if they'll do a free estimate????

SSFTSX

offcourse. you take your car there and show it to them. they will give ball park figure with time. For me they said you have to leave the car there for two days. So i thought it is not worth it.

You could also try contacting your local S2000 or Porsche car clubs for good recommendations. The Bay Area S2000 group are a really good bunch of guys.

In Belmont near my work there is for European cars but these guys are real expensive. I went there also.

ssftsx,

when you took your car into the serramonte shop, why did they take 2 days to get an estimate. What were your damages? I called them and they said they can give me a quote on the spot.

SSFTSX

Two days for repainting the car. Estimate was on the spot. it is small nicks/dings but still needed whole bumper repaint for perfect match.

My family has ha pretty good experiences with Precision Auto Repair in Pleasanton. I don't think they have a body shop, but they do recommend a body shop next door. I've also read nothing but stellar reviews about AH Connection in San Jose.
