^^^^^ You're kidding right? I'm new to the area but if there's one thing I've learned it is not to use Maaco. Let me know how the paint job comes out. When I was in high school a kid in my class went with them. Let's just say his red truck turned pink in a matter of 6 months.

Wow that wasn't a bad price at all. The price I was hoping to keep it near was about 300 for each of them. The lifetime guarantee sounds nice but in the end I will have my entire car repainted when its no longer my DD and/or parks in a garage. I'll find someone that will hopefully do a good job for a decent price. I don't need it to be perfect for now but I'm not going to Maaco

Well I went and got a quote from John today. I'm sure they do amazing work but the estimate was more than double of what places back in Gainesville were quoting me 
For a daily driver that is parked in a parking lot 24/7, not what I had in mind. I guess I will keep looking around.
Just an FYI for anyone that stumbles across this thread later and wants to know how much it was... $590 for trunk with oem spoiler (inside and out) with no panel blending. I also got a quote for front bumper (once again no panel blending), it was $480.

lol, I won't go to Maaco. I've seen them take way too many shortcuts to trust them, even if its only a trunk.
I used to live in Gainesville but I'm now in Jax. Starke is kinda far from me. If I don't find something closer I will be sure to check them out. Thanks.

So i just moved to Jacksonville. I'm currently stationed in NAS JAX with the Navy. prior to bringing my CR from leave one of my pits decided it would be nice to bite my front bumper and leave teeth marks on the side. long story short, it's minor damage and i'm looking to fix it ASAP. can't stand to see my CR like that. I went to claude nolan cadillac today and received what was imo an overpriced estimate. I'm new to the area and need help finding a good collision center/ body shop. I plan on taking a look at the smith brother shop tomorrow to see what they say but other suggestions will be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance.
