Atlanta Paint and Bodyshop referrals?
Hey guys,
I had a contractor scratch the front bumper of my car with a ladder. Its decently deep and going to need to be fixed and resprayed but I need some reccos. Performance Auto/Magnus gave me an estimate for $3k to do the bumper but that seems excessive to me.... that being said I want someone that can match polar silver exactly. Who has had good experiences with various shops?
Thanks in advance

A new cover is around $1500 I think & you should be able to get it sprayed for under $1000.

I had my front bumper license plate holes filled and the bumper resprayed for somewhere around $600. $3,000 for a bumper respray is outrageous.

100% agree with everyone. I was expecting $800 - $1200 tops. The total quote to do the bumper and both splitters was just over 4k and my jaw hit the floor. They are a high end shop here in Atlanta but I thought that was crazy.
Anyone have experience with an ATL shop that does good work cheaper?

I would highly recommend Goldcrest Motorsports. They are an outstanding independent who saved me from a bad spot a few years ago.
Great people, great work, and visiting the shop is like walking into a Porsche motorsports candy store!

I have seen paint work from a lot of shops around town and I will be 100% candid with you....most are very poor when it comes to the details. There are a TON of cut corners.
I won't say you can't get great work from a shop I am not naming but I will say I have seen these 2 shops perform work that impresses me and I am not easy to impress at all.
Performance Auto Collision in Alpharetta
Wilson's Body Shop in Conyers
PAC is known and in the area a lot of Porsche owners live. Wilson's Body Shop is not but they really do incredible work.
My advice is this, regardless of where someone goes. Look your service rep in the eye and explain exactly what you are looking for in terms of quality. Clearly, if one is pressing for discounts and focused on a price, quality is likely to suffer. If you are hunting a final product....a measure of craftsmanship that can't be had for a "deal", expect to pay more. For 9+ years I could not refer any shop in town because I could not find one I was overly pleased with. I have seen these 2 shops turn out some beautiful work. Take it for what it's worth.
If you go to Wilson's Body Shop, just tell them you know me(Jean-Claude) and expect the work I would want. They know exactly what you are saying and you will be very pleased.

Thanks! I just had my dad send Alan his 944s for a big list. Hope all is well with you too!
