My 2003 Pilot took a pretty good hit in the front. Unibody intact, but
quarter is panel is nasty. Looking for a good body shop in Dallas.
Suggestions appreciated.

"Best of Show" on Miller ( I think) in Garland has done a couple of repairs
for me. Very pleased so far. They actually cleaned up a badly blotched job
by Prestige Ford.
Good luck, Phill

Re: Good body shop in Dallas?
I dunno.
But at least one of the Honda dealers (Frisco?) sends their bodywork to
David McDavid Acura in Plano (They'll work on anything. The Saturn
dealer next door sends theirs over too).
McDavid used to do really, really class work, and assigned one
individual to take it all the way through. It was literally "better
than new." They'd find the smallest problems with a microscope and get
it fixed properly.
Now McDavid has a new multi-million dollar downdraft paint facility,
and everything is now done piecemeal by lots of people.
The result is: the paint has a pretty decent finish but they put clear
coat on too thick. They scraped my perfectly good spoiler by dragging
it on the ground (!) and the fix was quite substandard. A lot of the
little details were not addressed, even after I pointed them out. They
took substantially longer to fix the car than they estimated. And, the
delay wasn't all caused by the 2 supplements from the insurance company
to address the damage they should have found in the first place.
Apparently if you have a non-Acura, they don't always get
miscellanenous clips and do-dads in-house, on time, to finish the
project.
In short, a fairly poor showing for $4,600. I would have been
extremely put out, but ultimately sold the car and the problem. They
would be my first choice, but this experience in October 2004 ended
that idea.
At least they could put on a good finish. Sewell on LBJ (previously
Meiers Infiniti) did a real poor paint job and tried to send me away
with a broken fog light, on a $5,000+ job a few years ago. That
location is now closed, for good reason.

Whatever you do, DON"T use Service King. They screw up the wiring in my
truck.

Re: Good body shop in Dallas?
Can't recommend highly enough:
Stuart's Paint and Body, on Miller Rd.
If they're good enough to do mostly Ferrari and Porsche, you'll be happy
with your Pilot.

Re: Good body shop in Dallas?
I will second the David McDavid. They took an almost totalled Ody and made
it look damn near new. the paint is nice, the person buffing killed it
afterwards. but they stood by their work for the warranty period, no
questions asked. my insurance bill was $17,000 just to give you an idea.
All front end work.

I think it is called Miracle, by Irving mall. The miracle is that these
crap faced liars/cheaters/asswipes are still in business.

Re: Good body shop in Dallas?
Honestly no idea but for a good Honda repair shop in Dallas, I highly
recommend Danny's Import Service in Lewisville, I've lived hell with other
jackasses in the area but those guy never disappointed me, very honest and
professional. Not exactly close from Downtown but must better than going to
a shop close and filled with ignorant assholes.

Re: Good body shop in Dallas?
I'm not sure which Service King you are talking about, but my friend took
his truck to Service King.
And I say Service King DOES suck.
The truck had fairly minor damage....but included hail damage.
S.K. had the truck for over 1 month (it might have been 2 months). It came
back without the running board (cause they couldn't find the
replacement)...and paint runs, and the pin stripes missing....and a couple
of other issues. I think all said, it took him 4 or 5 months working hard
with them to get anything done.
I felt sorry for my friend. I'd never take ANYTHING to Service King.

Re: Good body shop in Dallas?
A-hem, sorry, but have to disagree wholeheartedly!
Herb's SUCKS! They are probably no worse than any of the other "quantity
over quality" shops out there, but that is exactly what they are. If you're
looking for a quick, low quality repair, Herb's is the place. If you want
the vehicle to look 'new', go somewhere else. (I have several negative
references to back up my opinion and zero positive ones.)
Not sure where, however. Just make sure to have a look at some completed
work beforehand!

Re: Good body shop in Dallas?
I recommend Freeway Motors down in the Oak Lawn area. They do mostly Jaguar,
BMW, Rolls, Mercedes, and Ferrari. They're the body shop recommended by
Jaguar for Dallas as well as the official shop for Overseas Motors.
Incredible work.

Excalibur... On 1st near Fair Park (you can see the top of the
building from I-30). Alex and company did a very nice job on my 3
series after a bonehead in a dump truck merged into his blind spot
during stop and go traffic on 635.

I also agree with Stuart's. They've done all the work on my vehicles for the
past 20 years. Unless they've moved recently; however, they are located on
Plano Rd.
