Body shops in the area?

turo · 10-18-2023, 01:22 PM

Hey all,

I had a parking snafu and wrecked my front clip on my e92, so I bought a used one on ebay and installed it. The donor car was same exact year/style so the fit is perfect, but it's a different color than my car (white, but the car is Le Mans blue). I'm looking for a body shop in Virginia that is willing to paint the front clip to match the rest of the car. The body shops I've already contacted are not willing to paint the bumper "because they did not do the repair themselves" and consider it a liability.

Is there anyone out there that can paint the bumper to match the rest of the car? I'm willing to forgo the warranty as well, I just want it to look better than it does now without breaking the bank. I'm in Herndon VA, but willing to drive a bit. Any suggestions are more than welcome!!

I have not personally used them. So I can not speak on their quality of work. But I'm sure they will paint it. If not just ask for the owner.

But that whole area off of Pleasant Valley Road has a lot of shops.

Nice collection of cars you have there

I typically go to suburban auto body in Herndon. Great experiences so far.

D&V Masters, but the price is gonna hurt. The outcome will be perfect though. It depends on how much of a perfectionist you are.

edit: they will probably want to paint it on the car.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I ended up going with Suburban Autobody, best price for what I wanted (quick budget repair).

Much appreciated!
