Default Five Star Autobody (San Bruno)

Has anyone gotten their fenders rolled at this place or any work done here? I need my fenders rolled and I kind of rather have it "professionally" done just in case I mess up. He's charging me $150 for all four fenders but doesn't cover if the paint chips. He said 90% of the time the paint will chip but its not guaranteed. Just need a good place to get my fenders rolled before I install my coilovers and drop my car. Or does anyone know of a good place/person that can roll fenders and can vouch for them? TIA

Are you running some aggressive wheels or just slamming the shit out of your car? I dont get why your rolling the fenders if your just putting coilovers on the ride?

he told me 90% of the time when you roll your fenders the paint WILL chip so it wont be his fault if he does it and the paint chips. he said he has a heat gun and will heat the fender before rolling it and all. i told him that i can get a fender roller and he said to bring that in and we'll see how things go. i just dont want to go there and have a shitty job done and then be forced to pay for painting the fenders.

will touch up paint from honda fix the problem if the paint starts to chip?

Eh.. I'm pretty sure you can get away with no chipping most of the time if done carefully. I'd stay far away from a place almost guaranteeing they WILL f.ck you paint.

With that said, no touch up paint won't solve the problem. It'll only make it look worse.
