I just had my M Aero kit shipped to and installed by D&V. Pricing was reasonable, the staff are very professional and friendly and I am very happy with the final product. The shop is owned and run by a family and they treat their customers as members of their family. Just about any time you go to the shop you will see multiple Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Lotuses, Bentleys and other beautiful exotics.
On the flip side, I also asked them to tint my windows and apply the clear car cover film and both turned out awful. D&V hires an outside contractor to come in and do the work at D&V, but as they are sanding and finishing cars in the same facility there is just too much particulate in the air to ensure a good finished product with window tint and clear protection film. The folks at D&V had thier guy re-apply three times and they finally agreed to refund my money, apologizing profusely afterward for the frustration and my wasted time.
If you are just painting / installing, I say they are first class. Anything else, however, is left up to another specialty shop.

I have heard great things about Wagon Works, but they are down in Alexandria as I recall and that's way to far from me in the Dulles area. I have no experience with, nor have I heard anything about Matchless

BW535xiT,
I had my tint done at LA Tint in Sterling on Shaw Blvd a little over a year ago. They did a good job on the first try and I haven't had a problem since. I'm in Ashburn as well if you want to see the work before getting it done.

I appreciate the offer, but I've used LA Tint before, so I know they do great work. I'm going to try for perhaps this coming Weds. With all of the NoVA folks here, we should organize a get together before it gets too cold!

The price sounds fairly reasonable, espcially if there was prep work and installation involved.

I had a fender bender the other day and upon the recommendation of the BMW dealer, my car is now at Royal Auto Body in Sterling. I have been very impressed so far by the shop and the owner. We are still waiting for the insurance company so parts can be ordered, but I have high hopes based on the work I've seen in the shop. I'll post an update once the car has been finished.

Hello, guys!!! good posting here. You guys have done a wonderful job with the auto body arts. I am pretty much fan of the auto body arts because I have old Nissan which I renovate it by auto body company who did a good job. Can?t post the pics now but I must say that auto body can change the looks of your car totally.
