Default Need recommendations for service, paint repair, wheel refinishing in South Bay Area

I'd like to get my suspension looked at, and I need to get some minor paint repair (chips, etc) fixed as well as get my wheels refinished at a good price. Can anyone recommend one or more shop in the South Bay Area (San Jose area)?

Try.. Wheel Repair - Wheel Customizing - Your Body Shop for Wheels!

They specialize in wheel repair. They can powdercoat as well.

If you need something painted on the car itself let me know. I'm a Painter. I'll hook you up.

I just had my HRE wheels repaired by Pristine Wheel Repair. Dalton hooked it up.

Thanks for the suggestions all. As fate would have it, I need more work done now :-(

My wife took my car and proceeded to almost rip off the front bumper. It got caught on something backing out, and the right side is now just hanging there. I'm hoping someone can re-attach the bumper without having to actually replace the bumper, but I don't know if it's possible.

Any recommendations on a good shop for this type of repair?

Damn sorry to hear that. Sounds like your poor E60 has had a string of bad luck. When I go back to work on Mon I can ask some of my car guys at the store where is a good body shop. They'd know best since they are from the South Bay.

If the clip wholes are not ripped you might be able to put it back in place. But if you have a crease or tear line on the bumper itself you might be in trouble. Any pictures? You can get some crease lines out by massaging the bumper with a heat gun, BUT that's some work.

Here are a couple of quick photos of the damage. It looks like one of the clips may be broken, but the rest appear to be intact.
