Well you could go to your dealership - if they don't have a bodyshop themselves and:
Try calling body shops that are dealership recommended... they usually offer competitive rates
Here's a quick unrefined search and what I got.. perhaps others can add their own personal flavor into the mix.

thats the body shop I use.

The truth is if you dont feel like using tellys shop because its too expensive then I recommend you save up more.
Im sure telly recommend a great store that will do quaility work for $1200, there quote is probably on par with most reliable reputable body shops.

What you have to ask yourself is do you want the job done right by somebody who knows what there doing for 1200 or go to some crappy body shop that will do it cheaper but the work wont look as good or last as long.

They actually painted my rims......but looks great.

Well I know Will's shop, but anyways as a student which is not an excuse....but do I really have $1200 hummmm......I would love to spend that much on my car but see that already hurts my wallet and my money has to go too other things....which I am sure any student will understand.


I am sure there are shops that can do it at a bit of a lower price, higher pirce does not usually translate to higher quality, it also dont mean a body shop who charges lower means it is crap.....

thanks again for your help everyone, I will begin my search soon enough.

Had my rear bumper repainted at Autostyle last year. Good price and work, although they are in the east end (Warden and 401). They are at (416) 298-6886.

see what nicly done (my body shop) says, mark is the owner and a really good guy to deal with.

Your right higher price does not always translate into better work, but too low of a price can get you in trouble. Im having my entire car repainted at Nicly Done, gonna be *** shot pearl white Ill post pics.

Im a student too, I know how ya feel.
