Miami Chassis, D'Professional, S&M, H&M...They are all great shops. Kind of on the expensive side...but you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to paint jobs.

Stay away from neighborhood, autopro, maco, etc... they suck

its sad that this has to be my first post, but late last night some *** hole cut infront of my 95 hatch while goin 45 down an expressway. The whole front end is smashed to ****. My baby is sitting in a wrecker's yard till tomarrow, when i'll have it towed to a shop.

Maxboost -- i found H&M and S&M listings, but couldnt find a number/adress/website for either of the other two. I'm in South Miami, so both of the above two are nearby. I'm just wondering which of the four comes most highly recommended. The other guys insurance is footin the bill, so price isnt an issue.

Anyone else from the area have a recommendation? Thanks -- Mark

MAXBOOST:

Appreciated your help with the referrals....


LIGHTWEIGHT: Can u send me the web site links you found, I am also interested in additional comments about these shops.

I am relatively new in Miami and eager to expand my knowledge, just bought a 93 civic dx, beautiful original engine. If you need help with any mods, I'd be willing to help, this in turn helps me learn.
Thanks

Neighborhood painted my friends EK Hatch, and they were so far off when they tried to color match his fender that it wasn't even funny. If you want to see a picture of neighborhoods work IM me at MaxBoost01 and Ill show you the work they did on my friends car. Mind you they didn't want to fix it even after the fucked up horribly.

D' Professional is great. The remove all panels, they have an immaculate paint booth, great painters, and they matched my 7 year old paint with no problems when I crashed. H&M also does excellent work, but they aren't cheap at all. Neither is d'pro. H*M is right behind braman honda on 7000 Coral Way. And D'Professional is one of the few shops in hialeah that does good work. They are right off palmetto and okeechobee.

Thanks, that was great info. I think you understand that I have to make sure of the quality of work at a given location before I trust them to paint my civic. I rather pay extra and have it done right, than save a few bucks and have a nightmare in my hands. Yo know anyone who had work done at H&M, S&M, ot the other recommended shops?
Thanks again.

Matt Sucks!!

I took him my EK to get my 99 front painted and along with the car he also painted my Spearco $800 intercooler.
to cover it up he spray painted it back to silver and told me he had cleaned it with a tooth brush. Lying ******!! One day he and I will cross paths and i will kick his frutty ***.. Man, this guy really does it for me... He really makes me boil.... I want t0o kill that son of a bitch. And if you are reading this frutty matt **** YOU BITCH!!!!

Hey Max,
If you had to choose between D'professional and H&M to paint your car, which would you go to?
Have you heard of S&M?
Thanks

I would probably go with D'Professional
They are further away from where I live, but I'd take the ride. H&M is great, but if they happen to make a mistake, they aren't always willing to fix it. Their work is amazing, but there customer service occasionally leaves something to be desired. That's being very picky though. If I had to rate H&M there still a 9. So is D'Pro...if you go to D'Pro talk to the owner named Nivio, he is seriously the nicest guy you'll ever meet and he get's **** done. He won't bullshit you, if he says the car will be done in a week, it will be done in a week. If he has a problem and yur car will take an extra day, he'll call you and tell you ahead of time.

Wow this thread seriously came BACK FROM THE ******* DEAD!!!
