Need a good body shop in West Michigan

itb76 · 04-19-07, 10:38

I need to have the hood and front bumper repainted on my VW, also some minor surface rust repair. Anyone know of a good body shop in Muskegon, Oceana, or Mason counties? I don't want to spend too much, but the car only has 154,000 miles so it still owes me 46,000.

Lenny,

I will talk to my uncle who use to be in the business, now only does it for a hobby for himself. The guys he knows that do this kind of work are absolutely amazing! I will check with him and get back to you with contact info.

BTW: I'm located in Holland

Joshua:

I've seen your posts, you're about 45 minutes down the road from me. If your uncle knows someone who does good work I would appreciate a reference.

Thanks!

PS Here's the car after I lowered it last weekend. Actually looks decent in the photos, but the front bumper & hood are chipped and a few rust bubbles are creeping up.

"Posting rules" says IMG code is off for this thread, how do I turn it on?

I don't know if you want to drive out to Grand Rapids, but we have had great luck with Impact Vehicle Damage Erasure.

I'll check for their location/number in a few.

Good luck!

If you dont mind driving to GR, Star Body Carstar on Plainfield does great work.
