Reliable body shops in Northern VA (front bumper replacement)?

pooskay · 07-10-2012, 08:41 AM

I'm trying to get my front bumper replaced with M-replica bumper. Need it painted as well. Can anyone recommend some good shops?

D&V Auto body in sterling - got my M sport bumpers painted and installed there. Tip top job.

Not to thread jack....but anyone know how much it costs to paint the mtech rear bumper? My uncle owns a body shop in sterling, but wanted to know what price anyone has paid in the past.

Painting a new/primed bumper shouldn't be more than $300

platnumdesi01 · 07-11-2012, 12:40 PM

Oh that's not bad, I was thinking 500ish.

I will call him see what he can do and maybe pass the information on to you guys.

I'm not saying a shop will charge $300, but that's what is should cost. Labor on everything in NoVA seems to be overpriced.

I think you're going to be hard pressed to find a quality paint job for that price.

actually there is i guy that does great quality work in manassas, he just did my mtech skirts and job is flawless. i plan on having him re-do my front bumper and future job when i get rear bumper. I knew of his shop for a while, and quality is what you will get. pm me and i'll send his number to you. this is a small shop that does great work, its not like one of those "factoty style body shops" that do half ass jobs to move to the next thing.

i wish my painter should still do side jobs - he would charge only like $100 max for a bumper and do a professional job in the paint booth - you should pay more than a few hundred for a good job with good paint and clear coat.

I got quality bumper resprays in NJ for $250 on the reg almost every show season. Like I said, everything has a NoVA tax here.

I like Autobody of Vienna. I've had good luck with them and they're highly rated in Checkbook magazine.
