Bodyshops Near Oakville Ont./GTA

Hey,

Need a front bumper painted Black Sapphire Metallic.

Received 2 quote's; one for $650, one for $500.

Are these reasonable for the area?

Anyone have any recommended shops they have had good experience with near Oakville or the GTA?.

This is my first time looking for a shop to paint anything, so any help/guidance is appreciated!

Thanks.

Seems reasonable, prices have gone up significantly in the last couple of years. Do your diligence to ensure they will properly sand down, skim and paint. Are they removing the bumper (they should be)....etc etc

Yeah, price sound reasonable. But customer reviews are important, as "painting" can mean different things in terms of prep, and quality of the job.

Thanks, I am pretty young and look like I am still in High-school so I often get taken to the cleaners when I have gotten service before. I also get that it looks like im a kid whose parents bought this car, but I grew up with a single mom and value the things I have now. I have no problem paying for the work, I just dont want to pay more for a shop to do a 'good enough job' that would pass the once over test of anyone who just uses their car to get from point a to b.

Also, not trying to generalize all shops, its hard work, I've just been disappointed before.

Was Just curious if anyone had any recommended and trustworthy shops who do good work.

Will take reviews into consideration!
