Default Suggestion on a good body shop in South Bay pls? I'd like to paint the sideskirts ...

on my 2001.5 A4. Front and rear lower valences have already been done. Palo Alto/Mountain View area, even up to 20m radius. Somebody that won't charge arm and leg and still do a descent job. I know this has been posted here before, but the search does not cover this forum. TIA!

Default I posted the same question a few threads below...

I'll let u know if I find good shops, and Id appreciate if you'd do the same.

I heard German Auto Body does a good job. There seems to be one in Mountain view and One in sunnyvale (i think).

Default Not So. Bay, but Oakland: Brooks Motorcars.

They replaced a damaged side skirt on my Pearl White '01 S4 and were able to match the paint perfectly. They are Audi certified to work on the aluminum body A8/S8 cars.

Good luck,

Andre

Default bay area/sf autobody recs

hi--looking for a couple of recommendations in the peninsula/san jose area, preferably between palo alto and burlingame--

anyone know anything about the following:

--mathews/carlsen (palo alto, carlsen referred, uses glasurit)
--superior autobody (san carlos, rector referred,uses spies-hecker)

heard some good things to about creative kustoms, although that's more of a trek for me.

any guidance would be helpful. need to make a decision soon...need them to replace the left fender, left headlight, bumper, and windshield fluid reservoir...thx!
