Has anyone used them for AFTERMARKET bodywork/paint? I know they're a very good and expensive body shop but I've never heard of anyone going there for aftermarket installs. I want to know if they'll be able to still do a good job if custom work is needed.

 

i've been to the one in san gabriel to paint my rear bumper and it was a great match...my friend went to another marcos to have his aftermarket painted and looked excellent too...but not all marcos will do aftermarket bodywork and paint...some only do insurance work (san gabriel)...good luck

 

ahh so san gabriel only does insurance? iw as going to go to them because they are like 2 min from my house.

 

I took a small lip kit for my Prelude to them once (San Gabriel) and they were going to charge me an arm and a leg to do it. $2000 just for paint and install. I was shocked, but i think that's their way of getting people to not have them install aftermarket.

 

Marco's Autobody usually does insurance only. With the price that they charge, you wouldn't want to do anything else there.

 

go to the marcos in monterey park...my friend got his whole front bumper painted and installed for around $600...

 

+1...San Gabriel Marcos otherwise known as their headquarters, only accepts insurance claims. Even with an insurance claim, they will not install or work on any aftermarket parts only due to liability issues. Marcos in Monterey Park will on the other hand work on anything they can get their hands on. lol

Another good bodyshop that Cerritos Infinit recommended is:

S & J Collision Center
18605 Studebaker Rd
Cerritos, CA 90703
(562) 809-4558

Took a Q45 there once and came out beautifully. They're about 25-50% lower than Marcos.

 

ok i just called marcos... in monterey park i asked if they do aftermarket parts.. and the guys response was ..

"um...... 5 second pause... we CAN do it i guess.."

so i said is it not recommended to go to you guys for aftermarket install/paint?

and he said "well......... i guess you can."

So i'm like wtf? NO THANKS!

 

im going to go to np2 in pasadena.. ill let u guys know how it goes!

 

theres another known place for great paint work called pj bonaficio on valley and hacienda...good luck

 

marcos in MP is good. i had my front bumper repainted there awesome job. the marcos in SG is so-so probably because they're so backed up with jobs.

pj i heard good and bad.. good luck.. why dont you try mob works in anaheim? i heard mob works is pretty good.

 

pj good and bad so i didnt want to roll the dice, mob works is way too far for me. Np2 seems to be pretty confident in their paint match.. so we will see

 

keep us updated!!! nice car btw lazee saw your car at SI last time when installing the SC

 

+1 on NP2... You'll be happy with their work

 

i hope so! i went there because of your car and andrews car. . both turned out rather nice
