Default My Booty Got Spanked --- With Picture

On my way home this evening around an hour ago, driving south on 404 exited Steeles, made the stop at the red light to turn right, got clipped by an Elantra on the rear drivers side. I'm not impressed. Attached a pic I just took. Looking for some recommendations in the east end for a body shop. I've read through the other post and I see bestline and some others in the west end have some positive feedback, looking for something closer to home.

ARRRGGG I'm not in a good mood right now......

I think pfaff has an autobody place out abouts in your area don't they?
That sucks man.

A couple of other quality places that get bantered about are:
Michealangelo's
European Autobody

I don't know where they are tho.

Michealangelo is at Bloor and Landsdown, European Autobody is at Hwy 27 and Steels.

While I had a phenominally great experience at Michelangelo earlier this year, I had a horrible experience with European Autobody (under a different name many years ago) and swear never to go back there again!

Kudos on the "I am not impressed" vs " I ripped their still beating heart from their chest and beat them about the head and neck with it"

Well, the most important thing was nobody was hurt, cars can be repaired. It was a moment of error on her part and she was already upset about it, so getting angry wouldn't have solved anything.

10 years ago, I probably would have done a full Jihad..but I'm older and wiser now.

That sucks, man. When I kissed the wall at Mosport I took it to Bestline, and they did a phenomenal job. They had to reshape the panel by hand, because my car has had flares added, and they couldn't source a replacement panel. $1800 parts and labour, which I thought was very fair, especially considering the quality of work they did.

when I inspected Bestline the paint on an Audi they had just done had orange peal all over it. Michaelangelos was double the price (discussing on phone) of everybody else. As long as it is within an hour of you house I wouldn't worry about location.
Sorry for the bad luck. Good luck and please share your body shop experience.

Try Rick at Impera Body & Paint. He knows P-Cars quite well and has done great repairs in my Subie and Land Rover when they got hit. Cheaper than INS CO shop with a far superior job. Rick's paint work is fantastic ... better than factory.

He's on Kennedy Rd noth of Lawrence Ave E., beside Snow City Cycle in Scarborough. I have seen his work on Ferraris, P-Cars and others. HPCARS uses him with great results. He can be reached at (416) 755-2772.
