Give me a call Mike, Ben. Both of you have my number.

My friends are lagging it and never went yet. I'm probably going to Jung's, the same place David took his. I saw his car in person and it looked pretty clean to me!

^ Seoul, how much did the dealer charge you for that?

$800 is not bad at all for complete paint and install? Where did you take it exactly?

Might be a little late to add this info, but Marcos Autobody has done 3 of my cars and they've all turned out BEAUTIFUL (**including my G last year**). Yes, they are a lil expensive, but they do damn good work, they're quick, and great service. There's a shop in Monterey Park on Monterey Pass road. I suggest asking for Steve.

***This is a note to EVERYONE... whether you drive a G or not..
STAY FAR FAR AWAY from CHAFFEY AUTO BODY IN MONROVIA!!!!***


Metro infiniti in Monrovia referred me on 06/30/06 to Chaffey Auto Body as being their contracted shop that they do repairs with. So, thinking they would know what they what they're doing (and in a timely manner) I took my G there on July 1st, 2006 for some rear end damage. They left my car to sit and rot in the sun and the Earthly elements (dirt, dust, moisture, HOT HOT SUN) until the first week of August with missing fenders and WINDOWS!!! I paid a surprise visit to see their progress early August to find my car covered in a month of dust and dirt, inside and out! I was pissed. After they had it for 45 days, I picked up my G and been having mechanical issues with it since that weren't even related to my repairs (e.g. transmission, brakes). My car was mechanically fine when I took it in; just needed remove and replace of the rear bumper that got hit.

Once again, stay FAR FAR away from Chaffey Auto Body!!

Wish I would have followed my gut instincts and gone to Marcos Auto Body instead!!

For some of the shops told to be good seem objected by some other members. Can anyone actually recommend a body shop for painting IP?
