Their attention to detail is iffy, especially with masking. Also, they do not do any sort of mechanical or body removal. It's all surface work. The paint is affordable, average quality but not horrible. They are the McDonald's of body work. They get the job done but that is about all. Find an independent body shop and pay the little extra. *** BTW, this is not really a Visual Arts question. Ask in Automotive/Transportation and you are likely to get a few more answers.

Just keep in mind that all the chemicals and paint you use isn't the best for your health. Its improved but you are still exposed to a lot of fumes.
