|
i live in san fransisco and am looking to fix the body/paint my bus. theres very little to do to smooth the body (mainly dings and dents, but only about 5 to speak of) there is almost no rust (probobly about 3 square inches on the whole body) and am wondering a few things...first, are there any body shops that are vw-freindly, as in they specialize or happen to know alot about vw bodies, how to fix them to specs and so on...do they charge more or less than other body shops? i have about 1200-1300 to spend...how much will this get me?

I am looking also. I need rust repair and paint.
Maaco was a bust, Skinner put me off because my van isn't 1967 or prior, Laverne's - same story, KombiHaus had a year long wait list, Bula put me off after several calls... etc.
Has ANYONE had successful paint/body work done in the bay area and if so, can you pass those sources on to us?
Much appreciated! |

Ya know, if the title of your post said "looking for VW body/paint shops in San Francisco" would probably work better. I opened it because I just started offering body work at my shop and was looking for some insights....A good post title really helps get good responses.....Just sayin...... _________________ D-Dubya Manx clone - 63 Short pan,1914.

Most Fab shops and street rod shops will do panel replacement. Most likely better and faster then a body shop. Then take it to a body shop to finish off teh body work.
