New Mini "S" owner here....I am very interested in painting the wheel arches and rocker panels to match the body color. Can anyone recommend a "quality" shop on Long Island??? ----thanks much

 

I've had some bad experiences in the past at other places but I got decent work done a couple years ago at advance auto body in bellmore. still had to buff out their holograms but that is to be expected.

not sure where you're located though

I'm friendly with the salesman from albert kemperle (major body shop distributor). Might be able to squeeze a recommendation from him. Thats who put me onto advance in bellmore

 

Don't be intimidated by the type of cars they take in. One of the best places. They are all over the BMW forums.

Sorry for delay in my follow up.

Mr. Sparkle, thanks very much for the recommendation. I'm in Massapequa Park so thats not far. If your Kemperle contact has any other favorite quality shops please pass them along. Much appreciated

Mini///M, I am aware of the Martino shop. I have a Porsche and Martino enjoys a very good rep in those circles. I am however concerned about his price point but will get an estimate.

Thanks--please forward any other quality shops that have familiarity with painted arches.
