I want to get me new nose and lip on my S, where's a good Raleigh shop to mold the lip to the nose and paint everything?

Thanks,

 

I spent about 40 minutes with an employee of Paragon Collision on Capital Blvd in Raleigh. I have a rear quarter panel that has had previous (bad) bondo work and paint. The fellow spent about 20 minutes explaining what would be involved in the repair. He then spent an additional 20 minutes showing me around their shop. I would have no qualms about leaving my car there amidst the Porsches and BMWs that I saw in various stages of repair.

They aren't the cheapest, but if you want good work, I would suggest checking them out.

 

Kenny Hawkins Automotive near Cary is another good shop.

 

mstupp, have you had work done at Kenny Hawkins? I had some dents removed (sort of) by them, and wasn't all too impressed.

 

Thanks!

 

Kenny's shop has always been highly recommended. They did some work on an M3 I used to own and I was satisfied. Kenny did a PPI for me on another car and didn't even charge me for it when I asked how much I owed him.

I've had work done on 2 other vehicles at Johnson Autobody in Knightdale which was nicely done and yet I recently overheard a lunch conversation where someone was complaining about them.

I've heard a complaint or 2 about Paragon but typically read good reviews about them.

A professional detailer was telling me today about Hendrick body shop in Cary and how good they are. I hadn't previously heard anything about them.

I'd bet all of the shops mentioned normally do good work and perhaps miss on one once in awhile.

Paragon doesn't mold lips, so I'd either have to keep the lip separate or try somewhere else.
