Better yet - are you fvcking' someone you aren't supposed to? Keyed twice??? I feel for you.

 

Which mall, I want to know where to avoid...

 

Sorry to hear about your car. My E39 got keyed in my office building's parking garage, and the indy shop that I get it serviced at recommended a place called International Sport Motors. They did a really nice job on my car. Here's the yelp review on the place: http://www.yelp.com/biz/internationa...-san-francisco

And here's the website: http://www.ismotors.com/

Good luck!

 

It's very odd, however it could be random. Sorry for your misfortune.

 

Who is your insurance company? They really agreed to pay EMC's asking amount?? I've been there before and they do in fact do superb work as they work on very high end vehicles. They take the paint all the way down to the metal/ steel and adhere to almost all the factory standards of the each car company to ensure the highest quality of product repair and that is why BMW of Fremont takes their used/ trade in vehicles to them. They pretty much restore the paint back to showroom quality. With that said I'm not surprised they would charge you that match if you were having your complete vehicle painted. I went to San Jose and got my whole car painted for 2500 to include all my stock bumpers and skirts.

Sorry for your string of bad luck tho

 

lets see the damage. man twice thats brutal

 

I had work done on my front bumper at EMC before on an E36 M3. The quality of the work was very good but they did make one mistake which I was disappointed about (very disappointed). They used a black primer (on my Titanium Silver M3) instead of what they were supposed to use which was a gray. This resulted in black spots as I got small chips from driving. The other panels had chips that were barely visible due to the lighter primer underneath. I only noticed after a year.

 

Black primer? What were they thinking?? Did you ever bring it back? Ahh well. I never had any work done over there. Some kid hit my car and I just asked around who gave the highest estimates cuz he wanted to settle it out of Insurance. They quoted me 5k on a couple scratches on my clear coat. Crazy

 

My car got keyed in sf awhile back. I got the repairs done at Costelli & Pardinis in San Mateo, all of the cars from Peter Pan BMW are sent here for repair work. The owner of the shop, Frank, did a great job on my car. You should check them out, they usually get really booked so keep that in mind.

Really sucks getting keyed.. I suggest you to claim insurance, that's what you pay insurance for.

 

Yea I think I found a shop that will do a great job for a decent price. Emc's actually wasn't showroom quality last time. I could see the blending on the in side edges of everything. It was ok. I'm not really worried about it anymore. It would be my third major insurance claim in 1 year... I'll just pay out of pocket.
