Detail Shops?

Does anyone have any good detailer shops they'd recommend? My driver's side door handle broke off and I had to install a new one. Now it looks stupid w/ the unpainted matt finish, and I have some other spots on the body I 'd like cleaned up.

Re: Detail Shops?

The place right next to SGH seems to do some good work. Steve's cars always look sharp when he gets them back and my Jeep looked showroom new when I picked it up the same day they finished it. I don't know the name of the place but it's in the Douglas Ave / HWY 55 area. Opposite end of the building from Steve (SGH enterprises).

Re: Detail Shops?

well if your only getting a door handle done i would suggest maaco because its just barely anything to paint. There's actually a company around here that will custom mix spray paint to your cars color, just do that and buy some clear coat. If you need a good buff or wax pm me, i can hook you up.

Yea, I'm looking for a place that will do everything, and do a good job. The car is starting to show its age, there's dings here and there in the paint, the door handle thing, and then general swirrel markes from hitting the car wash so often.

Re: Detail Shops?

The guy next to Steve does great work, my Dad took his GTO there and it looked great. The paint was practically swirl free and the engine was cleaner than brand new.

Re: Detail Shops?

Most detail shops don't do any kind of paint work, but the one by my place has a guy that comes in once a week to do small bumper sprays and touch ups for the detail shop and myself. He mixes the paint right on the spot, he's cheap and good, a rare combo these days.

The shop is called Angeloni Detailing, 763-545-9708. Ask for Nick, tell him I sent you, he'll charge you double.

Re: Detail Shops?

I just got a job as a body tech at Fairway Collision in Vadinas Heights. from what I've seen so far, they turn out very high quality work. I'm not sure what they're charging, but if you just wanna get your handle painted, I wouldn't think it'd be all that expensive.
