i hate to be the first to say anything bad about these guys, but my brother took his car there to get fixed(after someone hit him in a parking lot), and it took the guys there 2 months and 4 tries to get his car done right, and it still doesn't look right!!!!!! there is/was bondo scratches all down the side of his car, there is/was runs and drips in the paint, they didn't use the right glue to stick his molding back on (so 2 weeks later the moldings fell off), etc.... I, PERSONALLY, WOULD NOT TAKE MY VEHICLE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry johnny!!

...FOR A SHOW CAR PAINT JOB!

First time i've head a BAC horror story.. can't win them all..

But lets face it.. 99.9% of body shops out there don't paint cars perfect after an accident - it's almost impossible. BAC doesn't even come close to the shit quality of some lower end body shops around the KW area aswell - i'd say they are certainly one of the better ones. If you look close enough you'll find 101 things on anybodies paint job unless they paid serious cash. I wouldn't hesitate one bit to take your average car there for collision repair but if your picky then get ready to pay the price.

just another post about bac

there were a few minor mistakes with my paintjob
upon alerting jon to these
he set a date so they could be fixed free of charge

also he got me a new hood before darknights
it was ordered on monday and arrived today

went out of his way to get the hood and made sure it was delivered in time.

thanks again buddy

i used to work with john about 3 years ago and i know that he is a good guy, all i was saying is that my brother had a bad experience there, and that seeing the work that was let out of door there, i wouldn't take my vehicle there. the mistakes in the paint were not minor and were easy to see from 3-4 feet away, the body lines on the rear door didn't exist after they "fixed" it, and once the molding fell off, that was the breaker! i have seen many cars that were done at BAC, and for the most part, they all looked pretty good, but for the one that i saw in my driveway, they didn't cut it in my books. So just like in the olympics, take the best and worst opinions and omit them, even if that means i am the worst. I wasn't trying to offend anyone, but i felt the story had to be told.

said i worked with jon, not for him. the guys at authority are very well educated when it comes to tuning and engine swaps, so don't think i'm talkin smack about that. they also do good work when it comes to painting.... but i don't think they are the greatest at collision repair. There, that sounded more like what i was trying to say from the begining!
