The reason I had fender repainted was bc the gas cap somehow shot out and landed on the street and I did not want just the gas cap painted as that might be noticeable. I have all of the body shops paperwork and I pushed for part replacements because since I was going to have to pay my insurance deductible I might as well get the best job done and the best shop. The repair was done at Berlis body shop in Austin tx. They repair only BMW Porsche ferraris and Aston martins. They do phenomenal work. They guarantee all work and lifetime warranty on paint.
Details on the incident: driving down road approx 30 mph and it was probably the single day of the year where it rains in Texas and car did a slid/hydroplane type of maneuver after going over a puddle the right passenger rim clipped the curb and somehow my gas cap shot off I guess from the tire compressing up against the fender well. I had 19 inch forgestar rims back then that were a bit oversized. No frame damage whatsoever. There was no actual body damage either but as stated I was afraid of just replacing gas cap as it might stand out since car was about 2 years old at the time. I have all paperwork for the repair, the shop ended up repainting the rear panel, new gas cap and paint on that, and they replaced a few suspension components on passenger rear, just because of the fact that they could not tell me with 100% certainty that there was no damage to those parts. So i pushed to get new parts while they were at it. I am friends with one of the main shop guys and I pushed for new parts. They can only check so much. But they did thoroughly check frame and all that and there was no damage. The car has a clean title.
The car is my baby and I have been neurotic with it. Always garage kept. Very well maintained. All services performed with extras in between for peace of mind.
Car is Texas born and raised. I am the original owner. Car has been in South Carolina for approximate 3 months when I moved here from Austin.
Car is immaculate and you will not be disappointed. I am a legit seller with good seller rating on this site. I will make myself available for in person checkouts of the car.
