VM Accident Repair PLEASE RECOMMEND|....

I have a 2001 VW Golf 4 door in need of repair. Looking for a reputable shop in the KW that comes highly recomended to do repairs..... Im looking for first hand experiance with a shop that has done excellent work to your car or a friends. The last shop that took care of some damages did a shotty job of color matching and left noticable orange peel....

The car will require....

New intake (plastic near front bumper is cracked)
pass headlight
pass mirror and paint
new hood and paint
new front bumper and paint
new fender and paint
new rear tail
new gas door and paint
pretty much the entire right side needs painting.....

mechanically other then the intake and probably an alignment it should be sound, but it was getting dark out when i arrived on scene so it may need more....


Driver came out unharmed, the car on the other hand has had better days....


Please recommend a shop to take this to, like i said ive had poor experiance in the past so something recommended would be nice...

thanks Alot...

Dave

Finishline in Breslau is by far the worst and most unprofessional body shop in the area by far. DO NOT take any vehicle, scooter, bike, tricycle, or toothpick to be painted there at any time for any reason what so ever.

Anyone who would even consider taking anything to that shop at any point in time has been warned and should never even think about it. I had my car painted there. Within weeks of it getting done, clearcoat peeled, paint flaked off, door caps popped off, etc etc. I called to try and rectify the problem and all calls were unanswered.

If needed I will get into detail on what a horrible shop they are, but needless to say those guys are beyond garbage and nobody in their right mind should ever have any work done there ever!

Nick had to have his car repainted 2 or 3 times, due to issues with the paint
