What body shop did the work on your car? I am going through a nightmare with the body shop working on my car. Overspray everywhere, poorly matched, they honestly ruined my car. Anyone with Suggestions please help.

Default European Auto Body in escondido, or Autowerks paint/collision center in santee. Both are pro level

shops. EAB is the dealer paint shop for hoehn audi & mercedes & porsche, miramar audi&vw. Autowerks Paint & Collision center has some of the most advanced paint/body hardware out there today. They are moving into a 50,000 sqft facility soon. Specializes in BMW/MB/Porsche/Jag/Ferrari, they can do work on audi's too but they have avoided it since the audi cars are a bit more difficult... My friend took his avant there and they did an amazing job repairing the fender that was dented and couldn't be replaced.

ask for Chuck if you use EAB.

Where are they located? Im pulling my hair out over this cause my baby had perfect pearl paint and now its straight up aweful, I'm not kidding, the rear window looks dirty, and dusty but its over-spray with water streaks and spots in it. The roof is the same, and the right front fender, the only piece replaced is white, not pearl. I live in East Lansing Mi, I could even justify going as far as chicago as long as it doesnt look like **** anymore.

Seriously guys my car needs some tlc and the douches I took it to first really botched everything. In retrospect I wish I still had the dent.
