Default NEED HELP. Any good BODY SHOP in Houston?

Please refer to this thread if you have not seen it:

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=291781

Car was hit and it will be settled by ins. from the other guy. I am planning on taking this to the John Eagle Acura Collision Center(HWY 6) since thats the only place that does body work from Honda.

Have you guys had any work performed by them?
Do you have anywhere else that you would like to recommend?


My brother had work done on his old Si at the JEHCC and I didn't like it much but it was a major accident. His rear qtr panel was smashed so they had to reweld and grind out. You could see the grind marks and paint wasn't even at the bottom.

You guys think its okay to go back to them with a small issue like mine?
I prefer Honda b/c I can bitch and moan all I want if the job is not done to my standards because its a big corporation.


Thanks,

Mike

SABs is off of Bissonet and 59.

They've done work for me 5 or 6 times and ive been very satisfied. The installed my freinds Nismo kit on his Z, fixed a couple of rims for me, and are working on my S next week. I would highly recommend.

I was at JEACC and got an estimate. Total cost is 2262.64.

Repl Bumper cover
Refn spoiler
Repl LT corner reinforcment
Repl Emblem"H"
Repl LT Head lamp
Rpr upper tie bar
Refn hood
Rpr LT Fender
Repl LT "S"
Repl LT "S2000"

Repair upper tie bar? HUH?


Philip Lancaster always took care of me also but he is not working there like you stated. I think something happened because my advisor seemed reluctant to tell me what happened. Nationwide(Guys INS) will see it next week and than it will be done.

Also, my HT came in! But I have to wait till my car is repaired before I put it on.

I will look into SABS.

Thanks,

Mike

Goodson Honda off I-10 also has a body shop. I've been reasonably happy with their work.

Oh, and they also work with different insurance companies, so you might not need to get the work greenlighted by an insurance adjuster and have to wait a couple of extra days before they start the work.

Kurt at C&C Northside motors recently referred me to Expert Collision in NW Houston for some body work and I was VERY impressed.

If you are considering going to Malone's on the NW side...PLEASE IM me so I can give you multiple reasons why that would be a bad idea.
