Thanks to svxcess

svxcess:

You probably don't remember me, but I met you at the Subaru Challenge last August when svxfiles was helping me with a problem with my air conditioning. Anyway, you recommended Five Star Auto Body. I had Greg repaint my barcelona red svx, and picked it up a couple of days ago. The car looks awesome; just like the day I bought it new 12 years ago! Greg did a terrific job and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a bodyshop in DC/Maryland area. My only complaint is I had to live without my svx for 3 weeks while he did the work. Driving a Pontiac G6 rental car was pure torture.

Thanks again.

i know the feeling i have been driving my moms car around for a week... its funny how every one says that the SVX windows "take some time to get use to" for me now i dont want to have any other style of window! the rest suck!

Congrats, Regina. Greg did mine about four years ago, & it still looks as good as the day it emerged from the paint booth, less a stone chip or three.

How much did it cost for the repaint and can you post photos? I guess it's much much easier staying with the same original color.

DanSVX96:

$2,600, which was significantly less than a couple of other quotes I got. Some body work was involved. There were 75 dings to be repaired -- Greg kept count; some rust on the driver side door; and my rear bumper was a mess. I will try to post some pictures this weekend, but am lacking in technical skills, so I will have to see how it goes.

I am glad to hear it worked out for you. It bet it is nice to have a nice paint job again. Now you will have to look out for all of those shopping carts that come out of no where.
