Body Shop Recommendations in Vancouver

.F1 · 01-11-2010, 11:09 AM

Hey guys

Sorry if this has been asked over and over again. I did a search but didn't come up with much.

Car was in a collision last night. Damage to the rear end and the suspension is damaged. One wheel now has positive camber times 10000 lol.

Where do most people here recommend for repairs? It's an ICBC claim, not my fault.

Because of the suspension damange, I am inclined to just take the car to my dealer (Park Shore).

Ideally the shop is located close to Vancouver/North Shore.

Thanks for your help

Bismark in Richmond. They do excellent work and they have a hand full of e90s as courtesy cars.

Talk to Walter or Stan there.

I second the Bismark recommendation. They did a very decent job on my car. I however did not get an e90 as a curtesy car. I had to drive a very beat on civic during the duration of my car's repair.

Definately Bavara AutoHaus in Langley. They are an authorized BMW repair shop and highly recommended by the dealerships.

I have always dealt with them with both my car and my wifes Range Rover HSE.

Bismark for sure if is for BMW

Korva Collision over in Vancouver on West 2nd. They have always wowed me and I am a picky SOB

Talk to Vic and tell him that if he doesn't do a good job, Marcus will come to visit. I too live on the north shore, but the quality of work will speak for itself.

1. Rich city

Korva was my first choice, but these guys are seriously booked solid.

Fastrack in Richmond. It's a personal experience, some people know people at certain bodyshop's so therefore are bias.

Great minds think alike.

.F1 · 01-18-2010, 01:34 PM

Just to update, No.1 was booked solid 3 weeks out before they would even look at the car. So we chose Richmond Autobody in North Van.

Darklighter · 01-18-2010, 05:30 PM

I've had experience at Richmond Autobody in North Van and Korva. I'd recommend Korva as they do great overall work. Great guys to deal with too.

Richmond Autobody was ok for body and mechanical work but their paint blending isn't as good (ie. I could see where the edge of the repaint starts and ends).
