Looking for reputable body shop with experience for car paint job

I am looking for a reputable body shop that has experience with painting cars and some custom work.

I do not want to go to a body shop who is experimenting with my car. The body shop I previously went to painted my car the wrong color and didn't widen my fenders enough to fit the 10 inch wide wheels. They rub slightly.

I need the fenders fixed and car repainted. The previous body shop took over 3 months, it was way too long and I had to deal with too much BS. I am looking for a shop with a fairly quick turn around time and can do the job correctly.

The car is flawless with no scratches or dents. All we need to do is repaint the car and shave/roll the fenders a little.

Please let me know if anyone has any recommendations on good body shops, i'm tired of wasting my money and dealing with BS body shops that think they know what they are doing.

Why is it so difficult to find a good body shop? Every where I go to get an estimate they tell me they can paint the car but do not have experience with fender modifications.

The body shop I know that could do it is getting sold, so no go for that.

You just need an alignment with more aggressive camber man. You should be able to fit a 10" on a lexus with stock body, not to mention over fenders.

Take it to R/T tuning and have it aligned and you'll be happy, trust me. I'll be running 18x9.5 all round with stock body, you should have ZERO problems.

Post pics of the car, I wanna see the paint.

That is true, I can run agressive camber but the tire wear will be a problem then.... since this is a daily driver i'm not sure if that is the best option... what do you think?

camber will not kill your tires, especially the amount needed to reduce your rubbing issues. Toe is where your problem will lie, so keep that as close to zero as possible.

I'd imagine with -2 or so in the rear, you'd be more than good. PM RT Tuning on here, they will set you up with a nice race alignment including ride height adjustments as well as corner balancing if thats something you're interested in.

Can I see pics of the car and how much clearance you're really looking to get? I can't imagine spending money to strip the car down and remold those fenders, that would be very cost ineffective.
