5 stars hands down .
I highly recommend this place.
I only had minor work done on my car, so can't speak for major work or complete paint jobs.
Dave Rodriguez (D-Rod), the owner fixed the gouges/scrapes and repainted part of the bumper cover on my yellow 2001 MR2 Spyder.
I went to D-Rods Steetrods which was recommended by Jeda Generations, a high quality top/upholstry place when I was having my convertible top replaced there. Dave was nice enough to drop off my car at Jeda Generations (a half mile from him) after doing the body work, so I didn't need to drive across town to bring it there. A couple days later, after the paint cured, he even went back to Jeda, who still had my car, to buff the paint. This saved me a follow-up trip to D-Rods too.
Dave recommended taking the plastic bumper cover off to fix and paint it properly, including using a heat gun to remove what's left of an old permanent decal of a woman with a machine gun on the passenger side of the bumper (this was on the car when I bought it used). I could tell he was a high work quality guy, but I would rather live with the scrapes and the decal than spend $800. I got a $800 quote from a larger shop as well, but they weren't creative about coming up with a cheaper solution.
I asked what's the cheapest thing he could do, because my squeal point was south of $500. He offered to fix/paint only the scraped driver side with the bumper in place, including fading the paint into the unpainted other side of the bumper cover for $350.
He did an incredible job!!
I absolutely can not tell the where his new paint stops across the bumper. I would think for sure he painted the whole thing, but I know he didn't since decal is still on the other side..., unpainted.
Excellent work...and Dave gave me some of the left over paint for touching up nicks, and instructions/tips on how to do that best. read more
