  • What's this going to cost me?

    My mom backed into my wife's car a couple hours ago, and she wants to pay out of pocket, so there will be no insurance company hassle. It's a white 2014 Acura TL, and it appears to be only cosmetic damage. Car drives fine with no pull or extraneous noises, so I'm pretty sure only body work will be needed. Feel free to PM me estimates or point me to a place that does good work for a decent price. Keep in mind I'm in Frisco, so no places on the other side of Fort Worth unless it's going to be a hell of a deal.

      Thanks for the suggestion. Do you have personal experience with the shop? I could have googled for local body shops, but I was looking more for someone on the board who did paint/body and might be looking for some extra income or someone who has a personal recommendation for a place that does good work at a fair price.

        I used herbs when my mustang got hail damage cause my insurance said if I used them they would also guarantee it for life. The previous time I used Service King on my old truck, and of the two, if paint is involved, I'd go service king... Both in frisco, within 2 years of each other. Whoever painted the hood (new/replaced due to hail) on my mustang must have been a newbie, way more orange peel than the factory job. I took it back to them to correct it, but it wasn't much better so I fixed it myself with sandpaper and a buffer. No more Herbs for me.

          I know a guy at herbs, all of the work I have seen from them has been great, sucks to see that birddog wasn't pleased. I have used Greg at five star in Carrollton for several years and have always been happy with him.

            My uncle works at the Herbs off LBJ in Garland. I trust him of course. Can't say how the pricing is. He just started back there about a year ago and has been in the business for almost 30 years.

              I've been told to reach out to Mark Preus for paint help, but I haven't had any luck getting a hold of him via PMs.

                Based on my experience of no experience at all, I'm going to say $800.00.

                  I don't think he gets on here anymore. Might try reaching out to him on facebook?

                      I could be wrong. Haven't seen him post in some time.

                        It'll cost you nothing. I'm thinking $1500 for your mom.

                        Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

                        You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                          Mark rarely gets on here anymore... I know he's pretty slammed right now but it wouldn't hurt to contact him on Facebook.
