Any Recommendations for BMW bodyshop?
Hello members,
I got rear ended today and will be bringing my car in for repairs. I did some searching and found a similar post by another member looking for repairs on bodywork from a BMW, but it was a little dated a year back.
http://www.revscene.net/forums/best-...t=AK+autoworks
Just wanted to check in to see if things have changed and to see what are the "go to shops" for BMW owners today.

I am thinking of taking it to No. 1 Collision as I have read quite a few reviews of satisfied customers there. I did come across a negative experience on revscene, but don't want one bad experience to overshadow all the good ones.

Also have heard good things about AK autoworks - but also things how they have changed and no longer as good as before

Thanks in Advance

Please post recommendations and experience if possible.

Anybody decent bodyshop should be able to do any car. Doesn't matter if it is a BMW, a honda, or whatever it is.
No1 collision does quite a bit a BMW's but I have heard VERY bad reviews about them.
I personally would never bring a car to them myself.
Give Richmond autobody a try. It's right down the street from no1 collision in richmond on no5.

Thanks for the info

The No.1 Collision I am thinking about is the one in Vancouver. I believe the poor reviews I have heard about came from the Richmond shop

Had a dent on my driver side door (I drive a E92) and it was fixed by No.1 Collision. They did an amazing job.

Korva World Class Collision or Burrard Autostrasse

They have plenty of experience with BMWs and high end cars. If they're good enough for Lamborghini and Ferrari, they're good enough for BMWs...
