A&Q about 350Z
Q:
So, I was moving and parked my car on the street for 45 minutes. Somebody (don't know who) side-swiped my Z on the rear bumper and the quarter panel. The plastic bumper part has some pretty deep scratches on it and it's slightly bent, I think. The quarter panel's bent towards the end near the tail light and the paint's peeling off. Looks pretty awful.
Has anybody else here (who lives in L.A. or the Valley) had to have any body/paint jobs done on their Z? If so, where did you go? And, more importantly, were you happy with the end result? I just went to McAlister's Body Shop in North Hollywood and they quoted me $1500. Not really concerned so much about the price... I just want top quality. Any recommendations?
Thank you so much!

But I feel for you. What color is your Z?

I used Marco's Autobody in South Pasadena, they repaired my Audi TT at the time and did a great job.
