Help please car hit need to know where to go

Girlfriend backed out of driveway and hit my car dented without crease the back left quater panel and a little of the driver side door. I need to know the best place in Hawaii to take it for replace/repair with new paint for panel and door. Would be best to email me at jhod5@hotmail.com but I will be checking this as well. Anyone else have this kind of luck I swear it is one thing after another broken tail light broken mirror cover not this crap. Thanks to all that help and be safe out there.

Joaquin

Honolulu and price is no object I am not paying for it. I looked in yellow pages and Mini of Hawaii does auto body it says. I am wondering if they contract it out or if they will just get an indi blue door and quarter panel from where they are made and throw bolt it on. I really don't want the paint to be off on color. This is so agrovating.

Hey, Roo, wassup with all the rotten luck with your MINI lately?!

Bent wheels, broken/damaged mirrors, bumper, premature rear brake wear, and now a fender bender

I ditto kbseto's recommendations.

Is the GF jealous of the attention you give your MINI?

Yeah, but the damage wasn't from a fender bender or the owner. More like Oopsie! The drill slipped!

I think the car is jinxed and needs to be traded in.

Global Auto on Sand Island and Masuda's in Kalihi do very good work.

Before considering Central Body take a close look at my car's paint, they supposed to fix all my complain but instead they added more damage to it what worse is they said it causes by a rock chip while dust is under the clear coat, and you have to wait longer than expected. FYI

Check out dent doctors. paintless dent repair (if no creases). They do customers cars here at MoH/BMW quite often.

Sorry to hear about your bump. I like your new wheels, it will definitely draw ones attention away from the ....blemish. Contact Allan at European Auto Tech. They do excellent work. I use them to work on MINI's as well as Porsches, Audi's, Landrovers, Ferrari's and other premium cars in the past.
Be well.
