Good shop to restore paint and body

My car has gone through hell and needs the paint fix and some body panels straighten out. My entire front bumper is chipped galour. Where is a good shop that can fix the exterior body so that it looks new again and how much does a job like this roughly cost? I don't want the entire car repainted, just buffed and painted where needed including a few dents.

Let me know some places around the GTA. Thanks.

It really all depends on the work, for bumpers to be repainted its about $200-$250 for a proper sand, and good paint aged to match the car.

The other body work you really need to see to do a fair estimate

I got my entire car painted at Nicley Done Auto Body

Excellent shop, its in Scarborough but worth the drive.

Hope that helps

Pearl white, and my insurance paid a large bulk of it so cant really discuss the price.

I assume a good paint job goes from 2-3k?

I got my work done at Velocity. Front bumper, lip, and grille, as well as a new windshield.

When I got the car back, the inside was pretty dirty (they didn't bother covering the seats or anything), the lip wasn't put on properly (I ended up asking the guy to put it on properly), and there was a small gash on the side of the front bumper already (looks as if they dropped it after painting it).

Anyway, if you get your work done there, just make sure to do a full inspection of your car. After about 3 months my bumper started to have stone chips. I'm not surprised because of the terrible road conditions that Toronto had for the past months (its about time they're fixing everything, but that doesn't help either because loose gravel = more stone chips).

Nicley said he would do my front and rear of my brothers Acura 3.2 CL Type S (even wider bigger bumpers) for $400-$450

and to the above poster, no paint shops will put stuff over your interior and paint shosp are dusty. My car was filthy after a month at the paint shop. About the fitment of the lip, that sucks. Good you looked over your stuff.

BKS Auto in Oakville if you've got the loot. No one but Bernard touches my baby's naked, quivering, silver skin. He's got legions of customers who swear by him and every person I've sent over there first says "Holy crap, that's a high price to charge for a paint job" then says "It looks like it came from the factory that way, thanks Will for sending me to him. By the way my hot sister wants to have your baby". Well OK, the hot sister part is a bit of an embellishment. Usually it's their moms.

well the body/paint shop that i go to covers the interior with seat covers and also washes your car after any job is done.. they do absolutely amazing work, the guy that i always asks for mostly works on old muscle cars that come from cali and vegas... a couple of those would be like a roadrunner, a shelby and also an old school candy apple red el camino...
the guys' name is Stan and he works at Longman's Auto Collision center.
