Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Northwest Washington Paint Shops?

I think I'm going to have a bit of paint put on the tour, and I have no idea where to get it done

does anyone in the everett to tacoma area (I live in Tukwila) recommend any paint shops?

I'm looking for good prices, and more important, a great and reliable shop

anyone have any ideas/recommendations?

thanks

I always take my stuff to thouroughbred autobody in Auburn because they do a great job. the price is another issue. I only have to take stuff to them in case of an insurance claim, so i don't know how spendy they are. I'd definately give them a call.

I think they have some other locations too like west seattle.

well, some dumb woman rammed my car at the gas station, so now i HAVE to get paint done

anyone else have some good ideas for shops?

thoroughbred is on the insurance companies 'trusted' list, and they gave me:

Murray's Collision Center
Exhibition Automotive
Riverside Collision Inc

as recommended shops in my area

any experience at these places guys?

thanks in advance

my car only sees Bernie's Custom Paint in Olympia (20 minutes south of Tacoma). They do excellent work, and they are on Allstate's list of regulars. They are not listed as a 'preferred partner' because they charge a hefty fee, but if you're just paying the deductible...

Here's what my door repair looks like...

ya i checked out bernie's, but i didn't really want to drive that far.. so, i took her to thoroughbred (finally, hehe)

I HIGHLY recommend them after seeing the quality of work that was done.. even damage that was previously on the car was fixed.. the results were not up to my expectations, they were far above!

here she is after:



and here is a re-creation (i took some real time to make this hehe j/k) of the damage the car was subjected to by the crazy minivan driver:



anyway, though auburn was a little southish, i am glad i took my car there.. she deserved the results

thanks for the tips guys

Got a place that is not cheap, but not overly expensive, I can probaly get you a slight discount. The owner is my mom's bestfriends boyfriend. He was gonna repaint my car, but I am gonna try to sell mine for a 95 se mtx. If you want the number send me a IM or email me. He is in tacoma.

thanks man, but i already had my paint work done

oh, and i didn't have to pay a thing, not even a deductible, the chick hit me while i wasn't moving
