Looking for a good body shop in New Jersey.

[Midnight Dorifuta]

I've got a bit of front fender rust, a few fender dings, a scratched up rear bumper and a paint-chipped front... I more or less need it touched up but if I could get a paint job that didn't cost nearly $4k(!?), I'd seriously consider repainting the car to Viper blue or something to that degree, because the sky blue kind of bites.

Does anybody know of any decent places around the Monroe (08831) area?


I also need somebody to properly affix my rear spoiler to stop the damn thing from rattling, actually repaint it from its scratched Forest Green to flat Black, and paint my Shine Auto Lip and properly affix it. I don't trust my own skills to do body work.

Maybe up north you get better deals. But down here in Suburbia it's a bunch of ripoffs since most 'bodyshops' are collision repair, the few quotes I got for a repaint was RIDICULOUS. $3,700-4,300 for a basic clearcoat job in OEM colorc(Was using I think the Corolla S blue), WTF.

wow that is a lot.you could always prep it yourself to save some money.you could even go to maco and it won't look bad just as long as you prep it yourself
