Default Anyone ever use Earl Scheib?


Was wondering what the quality is of the work they do.

I was in a minor fender-bender and my front bumper got all scratched up (no cracks). I need to get it repainted.

I've called around and Earl Scheib got me the best quote (~$300) to repaint the bumper and the shortest turnaround (only 2 days).

I wanted to know if they use good paint and match bodycolor and everything. I have a Silverstone S2000 if that matters.

Anyone ever use them??

thanks,

I had them paint my old mazda 626. Needed a cheap paint job and that's what I got.

I would never let them touch my S.

If you are around the LA area let me know I got the hook on body work. I should able to get you the same deal with better quality work much much better.

Off topic: Your name sounds really familiar. I think you sent me an email regarding my craigslist add for my 2004 Suzuka Blue

Glad you bought an S
