Body Shop Recommendation for Aftermarket Parts

Kev · 04-01-2009, 10:52 AM

I'm new to the Seattle area and looking for a reliable and competent body shop that would do aftermarket parts. I'm looking to get an FRP trunk fitted, painted, and installed.

Or if you like, My buddy owns a body shop in Kirkland also. He works on all BMW of Bellevue, Toyota of Kirkland and most Auto repair. He done most my jobs and my friend's cars too. His name is Dave Steward. The body shop is called 360 AutoBody. You can reach him at (206)947-4599. The shop is located at 13205 NE 124th St Suite D Kirkland, WA 98034. Just let Dave know, Johnny refeal you. Give it a shot and see how much he would charge you. All price are negotiable. Good Luck!

Does he match paint pretty good?

Johnny Lin · 04-01-2009, 09:28 PM

Yea, he does a really good job and cheap labor. That is why he does all the dealership's job. He has contract with them. I done all the jobs for my 330, my friend's 335, EVO VIII, Del Sol, NSX, TSX, Mazda 3 and all other bimmer series. He has also done my custom pain wheel too. He does all kind's car and work. You can give him a shot.

I had my entire front end done at 360, and i wouldnt recommend them.

Horrible job really, and late as hell too. Kept my car for almost 10 extra days. They don't ever answer the phone as well, so I couldnt get info on my car as well. Didnt even wash my car when I went to pick it up.

I plan on getting it all repainted by someone else when I get back.

Kev · 04-02-2009, 09:23 AM

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep looking.

Kev · 04-02-2009, 09:38 AM

I see most people in 6Speed recommend Haury's. I guess I'll give them a try.

ericsmc83 · 04-02-2009, 10:17 AM

I recommend BodyWorks in Bellevue. They've done a lot of body work on past vehicles I've owned, and their quality/paint match is top notch. They might be a tad on the pricey side compared to others though.

I've heard lots of good things about Haury's as well but have never gotten anything done there myself.

Welcome to the PNW!

Really, tht is weir. All the jobs tht on my car & my buddy's cars were done perfectly & awesome paint match. I was sent by the dealership to 360, tht is hw i met him. But true tht he is slow, caz the all dealerships kept him busy as hell. U should head back to him hve him redone ur work. Sorz to hear abut tht, tht suck. So did u ever talk to the owner.

My car, member iceriver, jimh103 & icerivers' cars were all done at 360. It works out fine to us.

lpphreakx06 · 04-02-2009, 12:02 PM

I need my front end re-done, I have to start calling around too

Haury's also has an E90 M3 available to rent while your car is in their shop. I have no idea how much it costs though. They call it a "loaner car", which I think is a complete misnomer. To me, a "loaner car" doesn't cost money to get, but whatever. Still, pretty cool that they have one available!

I tried to call a few times, and he never returned my calls. The few times I talked to him, he said he was busy and that he needed to have my car for a few days again, which probably meant more like two weeks. I have a couple of runs in the paint and a lot of dust spots, which I feel like is unacceptable. I think at this point I should just count my losses and get it done somwhere else.

lpphreakx06 · 04-02-2009, 02:32 PM

Runs can be corrected, but dust spots?

Why, you have pay it already! You should get your right. I can talk to him for you, hope that will help you out. Let me know, if that is cool. You should not go any where else before you get your car redone. You paid the price and you should get what you deserve.

asdflkijd · 04-03-2009, 03:32 AM

IDK about custom body work but Bosen in Tacoma did a fantastic job on my car.. I had to get front/ rear bumpers replaced. The paint match is almost perfect.. scratch that, it is perfect. If you don't already know, I have an Arctic Metallic.. probably one of the most difficult colors to paint match. The accident occurred 2 weeks before I was scheduled to leave for NY, body shop got my car back to me within a week. They had some mad connections because all the NW BMW dealerships said it was going to take them at least a week to get the m-tech kit, but the guy at the shop made a few calls and made it happen in two days, somebody even drove it up to Washington from Oregon or California. Needless to say, for all OEM work etc, I would recommended Bosen.
