Default Good body shops in Columbus area?

Morning all, I'm new to the Columbus area and looking for some recommendations for body shops to do simple add on installs (front lip, rear spoiler) and paint without breaking the bank. I've done the usual Google and BBB search. But, taking someone's word from the forums who actually had good experience with a shop would mean a lot more. Thanks!

I haven't had any specifically body work done on my s2k, but I have had experience with two shops with my other cars that I see as trustworthy over the years. I would say that they did quick and good work. Communication on progress was also good.

Both of them were insurance claims so the cost wasn't too much of a concern for me. However if you are paying out of pocket, it would be good to get them to quote you.

Rife's in Westerville:
Rife's Autobody
  • Had them fix my SUV when it was rear ended. Bumper scuff and lift gate dent was repaired. Paint match was spot on.
Gerber Collision in Columbus:

  • Had a bumper repaired when it was hit in the parking lot. Fixed a dent to the bumper and repainted. I think it was about $500.

I've had good luck at True Performance. They painted my lip on my car and paint match was great.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll reach out to them this weekend. Hopefully I'll have the car done by the time I make it out to some events!

Echo the sentiment of True Performance. Have always had my expectations exceeded working with Randall, the owner, and his staff.

More info on True Performance, please. My front bumper us riddled with stone chips and I'd like the OEM chin spoiler that's been sitting in a box for months installed at the same with the colors matched.

Major problem is I'm in Cleveland... (In more ways than one! )

For Cleveland I'd just go to the shop that did work on Mocky's car a couple years ago. They were spot on too.

Sam Jackson's in Raymond. Haven't had any work on my S but they have done great on my Si and Acura TL. They do all the body work for the factory in Marysville.
