hi all, well, I have a bit of a problem and I really need some help... as I was pulling through a wooden gate today, I manage to put the side of the gate into my door, leaving what looked similar to a nice big huge dent in my door.... not sure if there was any damage to the paint... are there any good body shops in the bay area(read good work+low cost) that you would suggest? I really need this to be fixed by friday.... thanks.

 

Rainbow Auto Body in Hayward. First class work, reasonable price, and they know and love S2Ks.

 

I'm not driving an s2k, but I know 'em and love 'em... thanks for the info, anyone else?

 

Wow you're in berkeley? I go to school there. I drive a red s2000. (There is another one in town too, another red one ... but he doesn't have the front spoiler like I do).

As far as body shops go, I think one of the best ones in the entire state is Cars Dawydiak of San Francisco. It's a little pricey, so if its not something major, just take it somewhere else. But again, this place does some highend quality work

 

Thanks for the info... I took it into the body shop on durant today(nice people, nice set up, far better *looking* than the shop on shattuck) just for an estimate... about $800! amazing what tucking the door into a wooden post at 3 mph can do... I'm yet to see an S2000 in Berkeley... keep your eye open for a blue sol, small wing on the back(OEM of course...), and a big huge dent in the passenger side door... Where abouts in Berkeley are you? I'm up on the north side of campus, right next to etcheverry(sp?) hall.

 

oh wait, you're in Emeryville... i was over there today, just wandering aimlessly..

 

Bernard & Bob's in Pleasanton. May be a hike for you, but they do an AWESOME job and they stand by their work!

As a result of four different incidents (none of which were my fault), the only original parts on my Jeep are the two front frame rails, front passenger door, windshield and engine. Virtually everything else has been assembled by Bob's shop, and the car is better than new.
