I jumped a curb in Worthington about a month ago and knew immediately that it scratched my right rear wheel. Until today I thought that was all that got scratched. The rocker panel beneath the rear passenger door is scratched to ****. Any recommendations for a quality shop in Columbus that you guys have used before? I took it to Auto Body North off of 23 tonight because its close to my house and the only one I could get to after 5 that was still open. They quoted me $340 for the repair. I'm gonna shop it around as it'd be a joke to run it through my insurance.

Beware of curbs from hell in that town

I used Rife's autobody after my car was hit. They are located in Granview. They are also the only shop Infiniti of Columbus uses.

 

J I would have to highly disagree with you about Rifes. IOC has take both my cars there for work and it has never come back right. I think they suck!

 

Just offering suggestions. I didnt say I was happy with them either. Just that IOC uses them! whatsa matter beeny, forget to take your old man pills?

 

nope i just dont recomend stuff i dont like.

 

IOC referred me to them yesterday. I went to their Westerville location and was quoted $400 to replace the rocker panel which is already painted from Infiniti or $440 to repair and repaint. I called Rick at Riverside and hes got the panel for $228 but shipping was about $100. I'm gonna see if IOC has one in stock but Rife had the part from them quoted at $285 but that probably included some markup on their side. From what it sounds like the rocker panel is just a bolt on? I'm going to check out this route and just do it myself.

 

cool, good luck with it!

 

If it comes painted and you just need to swap them get it and bring it over and ill help ya put it on.
