Default Looking for NoVa Paint Shop

Hello all,

I am looking to get a paint job for my s2k. Any recommendations in northern VA? I’m located in Woodbridge, VA. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

+1 for D&V. They did a fantastic job on repaint my entire car. Ask for Raj. If you bring your car in person, they'll be able to discuss your options. I am not sure about the "only collisions" - maybe it is more lucrative for them to deal with insurance and body work on serious damages etc. but I didn't have any trouble convincing them to do just my bumper either.

The lady I spoke with on the phone was pretty adamant they only do collisions and referred me to:
https://fasteddiesautobody.com/

Might give them a call

Don't know if I would trust a body shop called "Fast Eddie". Ironically, his site took a while to load.

I took my ‘01 NFR to Burtons Paint and Body Shop in Glen Allen, a little more than an hour south of Woodbridge and they did a phenomenal job.

thanks, I will make contact. So far I have visited 2 places for estimates. For both a white pearl custom paint:
1-Maaco (Springfield) -$3800 they need 7-10 business days

2-Fast Eddies(Manassas) - $4500 he needs 3-4weeks

White pearl is a maybe, I am also considering championship white which I asked and it’s about $400-$500 less of each quote.

Looking to get probably 1-2 more estimates. Still looking for recommendations.

Thanks

Nooooooo, not Maaco! They are the dollar store of paint shops. My parents took a car there in the late 70s and were very disappointed. They though it was just them who got a bad paint job til they found other people with the same problems. It doesn't look like they changed a bit given al the bad reviews online.

haha yea I read reviews on maaco. I went there just to inquire and get a ballpark number for the job. And it was a great day yesterday, I was driving around and just decided to stop by.

Thanks
