Need body shop in Los Angeles area
 
I need to get a new front quarter panel w/turn signal and a new front bumper. Can anyone recommend a shop near the South Bay? I've been told that FR-S parts may take a while to get so if that's the case, it'd be cool if the shop would be willing to get me back on the road (fix turn signal) while we wait for the parts to come in vs. holding onto my car for an indefinite amount of time and forcing me to incur rental car costs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Western Auto Body is the only place I would go to in the south bay. There paint matching is really good and good quality

Thanks, I will check them out. Anyone have experience with Sam's Auto Land on Artesia recently? I used them 10 years ago when a car swiped my 2 week old 4Runner and they fixed it up like new.

Any other recommendations?

Totally spaced out when I was backing out of a car port and I coasted into a pole on the left side of my car. I was worried about being the next guy to curb his FR-S with the traction control off and then this happens. I've had like 10 years of driving jobs too.
Sucks to be me! :slap:

That's what I was afraid of. I guess a month isn't so bad, I just don't want my car sitting on a lot in the sun for a month. At least I got it Optiguarded. :iono:

I second Western Auto Body, they do great work and the staff is very friendly. They do some work for Toyota Corporate too.
