Body Shops - NOVA

[335iguy]

I need to get my rear bumper painted and usually go to BMW of Fairfax to have the work performed. I have also heard that First Choice in Arlington does good work. Does anyone have any recommendations between the two or for anyone else who does the best work in the area?

Wagonwork does the best work in the area. And you will pay for their expertise. Only body shop I will deal with. I will deal with the crap I get from the other guys insurance company.

Others have had good luck at Springfield Auto Body. First Choice has never been any good.

Need some advice here. Cracked the front fender on my 98 z3 recently and need to get it fixed. I will be paying out of my own pocket, and wagon works is a little out of my price range. Any good recommendations in or around arlington for a reasonable body shop? Also I scouted the internet and there seem to be several sites offering deeply discounted parts - front fender for about 280. Any recommendations on a source to get discounted parts?

First Choice did an excellent job on my 2004 X3, matched a red hood perfectly.
I got a better feeling at First Choice, than the factory, take a number mentality at Waggonwerks. FC is a smaller shop, that does BMW of Arlington's body work.
