    Pittsburgh South Hills Auto Body Shop Recommendation

    Does anybody that lives in the south hills of Pittsburgh know of a good auto body shop that does paint at a fair price?

    Just got an m3 front bumper that needs paint and I'm hoping that someone here has some experience with the local area's body shops?

    Found a shop not far from me and at a great price. Charging me 250 to paint an aftermarket bumper straight from the box. I know it seems cheap but after talking to the guy and looking at reviews, I'm sure he'll do a great job.

    Will do. I dropped it off yesterday and believe I'm picking it up today, but I have to call and make sure. If I get it back today, I'll post a picture here tonight.

    Sorry I kept forgetting to take pics of it with it still being light out. The quality is crap and you can't tell but the bumper came out great. I highly recommend Phil Claar Auto Body. They're located in Elizabeth, PA at 2221 Lincoln Blvd. I'll be going back to him in the future to get my nose panel and hood resprayed.

    Kool. That's good to know. Thanks for sharing. Did they do any bodywork too? Or just spray the paint?

    I just had paint done but they do body work as well. I asked them about taking out a dent on the bottom of my right front fender. Previous owner or a shop they took it to jacked the car up from underneath the fender instead of the jacking point and bent the fender up a bit. It's not too noticeable but enough to want me to fix it. He said he'll need to see it to give a definite answer, so if I get a day I'm going to drive down and see what he says.

    Ok. Hopefully it will turn out as good as the paint.
