Reliance auto body and paint

When I got in a bad accident last year I took the car to the Insurance's recommended body shop (a big one) and they ****ed around with me and said they fixed the car. When I took it to reliance they found all the things that the body shop didn't do, including only using 3 of 6 bolts to hold up my hatch, one of them not even the right size.

They take care in their work and do a great job, I would highly recommend them

NO. THEY ARE A HORRIBLE SHOP.


I took my subie there for body work covered by insurance and they did a **** poor job. They usually work on hondas and acura's. There's more, but Im not going to go into a rant. :fighting0008:

AGREE !!! they are horrible
my cousin took his car there, they didn't fix a bunch of sh*t, and the workmanship sucks.
my cousin had a front end collision, and they didn't even check the transmission when they repaired the car, and few months after the repair is done, the transmission started to leak, and now the insurance is paying extra for the repair.
If they have found out about the transmission earlier, the car could have been totaled, and my cousin could have gotten a new car.
but instead, he is now stuck with a salvage car with a rebuilt transmission, and some crappy a$$ body work.

Alamden Collision (sp) or body shop. Jonathan works there and is a buddy of mine. Maybe a out of the way as it's located across Oakridge area. Tell him Andrew with a white 240sx referred you. He does a lot of custom work there. Btw, he's part owner of it.

Not to be a wet blanket, but shops that usually do a lot of custom work are not that great at doing OEM work

I'm curious what happened as well. I have had plenty of work done there and they always take care. I recommend Creative Kustoms.
