last night.. i lost control driving in the rain, trying to avoid some fool who swerved into the lane. rear wheels spun out and i slammed into the sidewalk/concrete barrier. some body damage from scraping along the sidewalk, but the major damage is to the wheels. my right rear wheel has "positive camber"... top part is sticking out, bottom is caved in, and curbed. half the front wheel is scraped up pretty bad, too. i think i may have seriously damaged the axle and other things.

so anyway.. i know my insurance company is going to rape me if i take it to the dealership to have repaired. any shops on the east bay that you recommend? i want to take it somewhere i can trust.. that will do the repairs right the first time.. even better if they don't use faulty *** replacement parts, too!

help!

(pictures comin soon)

 

Depends on who your insurance is. Some have preferred body shops they work with and bill directly to the shop. I think the dealership is the last place anyone would take a car to get repaired. ANy body shop can get OEM parts from dealer and perform the work.

Hope things work out..

 

That suck bro.. hope you're alright tho.. I always been taking all my car to M&S collision in Milpitas, and they had always done great work for me, and some of others on this forum. If your car is OB i have some stock part laying around that i might be getting rid of it pretty soon.
2006-19inch stock wheels,
2006 sport bumper in OB, and in awesome condition
04 stock side skirt, and also have the splash guard brand new still in the box still.

 

i have state farm. from my experience with them and being a former employee.. their preferred shops use non-oem or reconditioned parts if possible. bottom line, i just want to find a shop that knows how to repair G35s and can do it right.

anymore suggestions for shops in the east bay would be great! (hayward, union city, fremont, etc.)

yo obby, i might be interested in the 19s if they are in good condition. maybe even the bumper too. i think my splash guards are ok.

 

^ just PM me when ever you want to take a look at it..

 

no one knows any good shops around the east bay?
