RandyW Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I need a body shop to fix some dents and scratches, but the car is leased and I have to return it with a perfect paint match. Can anyone suggest someone lakeside who can do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TelsZ4 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Lake Auto Body (the old Fernandos) just down from the Waffle House is the most recommended body shop in the area, he does a great job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontekoe Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Lake and the other are much more expensive than Sergio, and he does a great job, I trust him with my Jaguar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your leasing company is not going to notice that you have painted the car but you might want to have a story ready. P.S. Another vote for Lake Auto.

ComputerGuy Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Now, is Lake Auto doing scratches and the like? Because when Fernando was running it, there was no touch-up work; full panels would be repainted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelsZ4 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Because of the clear coat process it is very difficult to clear coat just a scratch. When i took my car to a body shop NOB they would not just fix the scratch they have to clear coat the panel. Their explanation was that if they just clear coat the scratch after a few months you will be able to see the patch that was clear coated..

ComputerGuy Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 That I do understand. But I've never seen anyone clearcoat a scratch anyway; just buff it out, paint it in, and buff it up, with pro grade compounds and tools. Not every scratch requires a full panel job. It does look perfect when done, though... but maybe this is the difference in cost as seen by Bontekoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Take it to Lake, he'll give you an estimate. heckuva lot less than in the states, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Lake do a great job and prices are good. We have friends who had damage to the front and rear of their vehicle, a lot of work done to their car total price was 1800.00 pesos. My husband has had scratches and one small dent removed it was 500 pesos. Colour match was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
