So i'm getting my bumper repainted and the keyed half of my car fixed as well in the very near future through insurance, so at this point cost is not really an issue. However, I do want the highest quality work and I MUST have a perfect paint match otherwise it will bug me forever.

Can anybody recommend a shop that they have had personal experience with in getting their car fixed there and have had their paint matched PERFECTLY without blending?

I have done a little research on the forums and so far these are my choices:

Wetworks Garage in Costa Mesa (a lot of custom work?)
Quiqleys Auto Body in Lake Forest (board member with show car quality has had work done here)
Alliance Collision in Costa Mesa (does stillen’s work?)

It seems some board members have had some positive experiences with these places. I actually have not heard too much about wet works, it seems they do more custom things than OEM but I’m not sure.

And i live in Irvine so i'm hoping I can stay around central/south OC to get the work done.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

I got my stuff done at AutoExplosion in Gardena. They do an awesome job.

 

Yeah, I've heard they do good work except it seems to be a little far from me.

 

wetworks does excellent custom (body) work, but they are busy like no other... paint match pretty good, but experienced VERY SLIGHT fading after 2 years or so

I was recently had an incident with the rear bumper of my IP and I took it to 2020 auto body in city of industry (www.2020autobodytech.com) and the paint match is just AMAZING on a IP, but they are known for their high price. But after shopping around, it turns out their prices are okay ($450 to repaint the whole rear bumper vs $700+ at collision auto body in FV by Fry's). Also, 2020's turnaround time was less than a week, and finished my car a day before promised.

MobWorks seems to be quite popular around here in OC, but I've been hearing a lot of negative feedback from them on www.is300.net, so you may wanna watch out for them. When I had some work done by them 2 years back, it was pretty good tho.

 

I just made a claim on getting my rear bumper fixed. I decided to take it to Quigleys. I visitied the shop and they seem pretty good at what they do.

 

Ive been very good friends with joe at wetworks and would recommend anyone to them, however you need to make an appointment cuz he's always backed up.. also expect to wait, but the wait is always worth it from wetworks.

 

I had no problems w/MOB Works painting my front bumper. I have heard a lot of negatives about them but they were really good for me and great price $250 for front bumper
