Body Shop Recommendation - Vancouver

Post by Fionna »

Hi there,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a bodyshop to do minor body work repairs and painting in Vancouver. We are looking for somewhere that does really good work, and would like to see a couple of businesses to obtain quotes.

Thanks!

Hi Fionna,

Check this link out: http://www.delica.ca/forum/oh-my-god-o-4252.html#p31121

He doesn't paint (at least not that I am aware of) but he will remove most, if not all of your dents, without using bondo and at a fraction of the cost.

Good Luck :-D !

Yeah, Rick has nevr done anything but bodywork. He started sweeping floors at his Dad's body shop when we were just kids (in the early 80's). His Brother Darryl can fab just about anything, he's an ex helicopter mechanic. Great guys.

I found a really great shop, in Burnaby near New Westminster. Dumore's Collision, run by husband and wife Trevor and Kim, they both take the time to talk first with you to ensure they do exactly what you want. Very knowledgeable and chatty. ICBC service.

They fixed my Delica after nasty thieves hurt the door to steal my radios, took great care with matching my 15 year old paint, they are happy to work on more JDM's. They often work on fancy imports cars, such as Porshe & Mercedes with big smash-ups, and the results are beautifully smooth.

Dumore's Collision
74xx 6th St, at 19th (just NE of Canada Way and Edmonds) Burnaby
phone 604-527-0504

Regards, Christine.

Hi
Thanks to everyone who replied to my query. Sorry to have been so long in replying but have been busy falling off my bike and camperising the van. Not quite finished yet but will let everyone know when it is so that if you want to have a look we can set something up. Butch suggested an open house at his place. Kelly, nothing too bad. A side swipe on the left side.
