Try calling Darwin and Sonic MS (www.sonicms.net). The body shop they use I think is German Auto Body (www.germanautobody.com). Maybe he can hook you up? A friend of mine (who did not use German, he went with some other place, can't remember which one) said half a car was around $3K?
On another note, I was always curious..does repaint go on CarFax or reduce the value of your car? I had heard some people say this and I never understood why. I would expect a professional repaint would keep or even raise the value since it restores the paint to new. Maybe because repaint usually means accident?

Hello.
So last april, my car was keyed.. big boohoo. Insurance covered. New paint job at the Fremont BMW recommended "EMC Collision" was $10,000. Flash forward today, keyed again. No apparent reason and not even at my house. Damage is less (4 doors and one rear quarter). Deciding not to go the insurance route and pay out of pocket.
Anyone know any good body shops in the Bay Area that are reasonable and reputable? Any idea of cost? I know all 4 doors.. and the rear quarter kind of wraps towards the front.
If you REALLY want pictures... I can get them.. but it's kinda gross (Its a Jet Black BMW)

Nope no enemies.. It was keyed at a mall I usually never go to in a different city.. I guess the hot weather ad a free car wash wasn't a good idea
