Good place to get car painted in the Bay Area? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

gt8613 · 10-31-2013, 04:30 AM

I live in the Bay Area (South Bay). Both the sedan and the mini-van need some touch-up paint work done. Any recommendations for places that do a good job and are cost-effective?

Thanks.

Opposite of what you are looking for... but AVOID Anderson Behel Body Shop in Santa Clara. They've screwed me twice.

First time, they did work on my front bumper and in the process of taking it off bent the plastic so much that some of the paint cracked, they denied any wrong doing... That was the first time the bumper had ever been touched... car had like 15 miles on it.

Second time, they did rear bumper work... clear drag marks on the diffuser section of the rear bumper and they did a crappy job on getting the rear bumper alignment right... lastly they got some chemical on part of the bumper that was acidic because it left a hazy spot on my paint that is "rough"... once again they denied any wrong doing.

Apex Auto Body. Paul is the man. He won't rip you off, and you'll get some decent work done. It's by the San Jose Giants stadium in San Jose.
