My experience at Bismark i'd call satisfactory.
Firstly i had an ICBC claim at which the other party was at fault.
I wanted to bring it to my Uncle's shop but he was far too busy. HE doesn't work on Ferrari's but he's done all of my family's bodywork and i think he does a very good job.

Bismark did accept my car though, i mean it was a icbc claim right?
I knew a friend of theirs and they said they'd hook me up, i had some scuff marks and asked if they could do something about it. and one of the reps said they'd sand it down.

It ended up totalling to about $4500 of damages so it did take some time, they told me iirc it'd take 6 or so weeks. They also helped me get a courtesy car from a car rental company, they wouldn't loan me one of their cars, the rep said, "Hey now you got a nicer car then the one you have!" My car might not be a E46 M3, but i don't think i deserve to be told a rental car is better than mine.

In the end, he didn't sand down the scuff marks that he'd said he would do, also didn't fix some of the damage ICBC told them to do( i'm not going to bother calling icbc or bringing it back to them since it was an license plate imprint that i can barely notice now) and took 2 weeks longer than they said they would. Although the paint job was excellent, my trunk though doesn't line up with the bumper or vice versa anymore. I think just cause my car wasn't a very "nice" car they didn't bother doing a "nice" job.

Would i take to Bismark again? No I wouldn't, i'm obviously not their clientele and I don't want to be told by someone fixing/working on my car that the 2004 Nissan Sentra rental car is superior to my mid 90's Nissan.
