    Body repair shop recommendations, SF Bay Area

    Any suggestions for a body repair shop in the Bay Area? Need to have some minor damage to the front lip fixed. So far I've heard good things about Bay Bridge Motors (Clean Green Collision).

    For future reference.

    Redwood City Auto Body.... outside of the bay obviously, well worth the trip.

    The owner Alex is a great guy and does great work. He will even drive the car up to SF for you. Got in a fender bender in the M3 and was really impressed with the quality of the work, held up great, 2 years post.

    Looks great! Now you just need to DIY and pop out the lower grill/respray it so it looks fresh. Easy job and makes a huge difference

    I have gone to BMW of Concord (insurance helped me out) to get some things tidied up on my dad's E39. They did awesome work, and I know they only used OEM parts

    Was the lower grill black from the factory?

    Funny, I just painted the skirts, bumpers and front grille on my e36 black. Five coats of Krylon rattle can black gloss and five coats of Krylon rattle can clear. Looks amazing. Took two days going really slow.
