Good body shop in Dallas?
My 2003 Pilot took a pretty good hit in the front. Unibody intact, but
quarter is panel is nasty. Looking for a good body shop in Dallas. Suggestions appreciated. (to the list, please) Gordon |

"Best of Show" on Miller ( I think) in Garland has done a couple of repairs for me. Very pleased so far. They actually cleaned up a badly blotched job by Prestige Ford. Good luck, Phill -- Phill Pittman www.masterwerkes.com |

I dunno.
But at least one of the Honda dealers (Frisco?) sends their bodywork to David McDavid Acura in Plano (They'll work on anything. The Saturn dealer next door sends theirs over too). McDavid used to do really, really class work, and assigned one individual to take it all the way through. It was literally "better than new." They'd find the smallest problems with a microscope and get it fixed properly. Now McDavid has a new multi-million dollar downdraft paint facility, and everything is now done piecemeal by lots of people. The result is: the paint has a pretty decent finish but they put clear coat on too thick. They scraped my perfectly good spoiler by dragging it on the ground (!) and the fix was quite substandard. A lot of the little details were not addressed, even after I pointed them out. They took substantially longer to fix the car than they estimated. And, the delay wasn't all caused by the 2 supplements from the insurance company to address the damage they should have found in the first place. Apparently if you have a non-Acura, they don't always get miscellanenous clips and do-dads in-house, on time, to finish the project. In short, a fairly poor showing for $4,600. I would have been extremely put out, but ultimately sold the car and the problem. They would be my first choice, but this experience in October 2004 ended that idea. At least they could put on a good finish. Sewell on LBJ (previously Meiers Infiniti) did a real poor paint job and tried to send me away with a broken fog light, on a $5,000+ job a few years ago. That location is now closed, for good reason. |

Whatever you do, DON"T use Service King. They screw up the wiring in my

Can't recommend highly enough:
Stuart's Paint and Body, on Miller Rd. If they're good enough to do mostly Ferrari and Porsche, you'll be happy with your Pilot.

I will second the David McDavid. They took an almost totalled Ody and made
it look damn near new. the paint is nice, the person buffing killed it afterwards. but they stood by their work for the warranty period, no questions asked. my insurance bill was $17,000 just to give you an idea. All front end work.

I think it is called Miracle, by Irving mall. The miracle is that these
crap faced liars/cheaters/asswipes are still in business. Steven Krycho wrote: > Whatever you do, DON"T use Service King.
