Default Where to have a little body/paint work done?

Hi all,

Have some minor dings here and there, stone chips and such, wondering where in the greater Vancouver area the best spot to have it fixed.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Thanks,

Geoff

Hey Geoff
Try Burrard auto strasse on pine st [ they do most of the collision repairs for MCL ].
Korva collision on west 2nd [talk to Boris ]
keep in mind they do quality body work but they are not chip.

Geoff,

I've had many cars worked on over the years by both Burrard and Korva. Both great shops and I highly recommend them, however, my newest find is No. 1 Collission. They've done a bumper respray and cowel respray on my car and did fantastic work, inexpensively and quickly. Call Shawn and tell him I recommended his shop. No affiliation other than being a satisfied customer.

Stuart at Weissach recommends Auto Sense. I am taking my Acura MDX and my wife's Acura TSX for some work this week. I will report back.

I have a few little scrapes, or spots that the PO touched up with a paint stick, by the looks of it. You have to get pretty close to see them, but the paint is a obviously a bit rough on those spots.

Is this the kind of thing that a decent body shop can make nice again? If it doesn't call for a total re-paint, then I'd like to have it done...In Calgary. Any recommendations?

(S'pose I shouldda included some photos)
